    I think the shims are pretty straight forward. I believe they will build a custom barrel that will be head spaced off your measurements but you are building a custom barrel. You can pick your chamber, length and contour but not for 300 bucks.

    All Lapua today, started with Center X and switched to Midas + Once it gets warmer I will do more groups with the Midas, and try more types of ammo. We are cold right now in Michigan.

    Lothar Walther CZ 455 results

    Again, when I talked to them about the chamber many months ago, they were going to use their proprietary match chamber. When I ordered it I was unable to reach them to discuss the chamber, but left comfortable because of talking to them previously. I did not headspace the barrel, as there are...

    Lothar Walther CZ 455 results

    I believe it is the Match chamber, I talked to them sometime ago as they can be difficult not to catch voicemail. At that time it was suggested these cz barrels would use their match/proprietary chamber. The specs on their website don't say much as this was a 18" threaded 22 and mentions only...

    I believe they use a proprietary match chamber and these barrels are not like the lilja, they are a drop in for the 455. Installed to their torque recommendation and used Lapua which they also suggested for best results. This was not a custom barrel ordered but one they now offer from their website.

    All shots were done at 75 yards, because of snow at my farm. All groups with the Midas were extremely close to the pic, all basically one hole groups. The Center X was producing groups around a quarter inch center to center. I shot 4 groups with center X and 7 groups with Midas, all 5 shot...

    Just a FYI, I THINK (don't know for sure) they are doing a run and don't know if this will be a everyday item. I requested info about purchasing and later received an email they were in stock, this was last week. Quality of the machining looks excellent, fit was tight in the action and it...

    I ordered a 18" threaded barrel for the CZ 455 and it arrived today. I removed the factory barrel and installed the LW barrel torquing it to 38 inch/lbs. Next a quick cleaning and headed out into the very cold Michigan day and shot some groups. The range was 75 yards with light wind and I was...

    Besides TacOps, the best of the best

    Those are amazing looking rifles!! I really like the carbon fiber and wood. I didn't mean to jump, I just wanted to relay its not for show but my idea of the perfect rifle and I want the best in quality which I know Mike can produce. Taking a box of factory ammo and shooting it through the same...

    Besides TacOps, the best of the best

    Man, those Russo stocks are perfection! I understand there are many other builders doing different types of builds. I have a couple custom rifles and they are great builds, but I want the best rifle that meets my expectations. I started the thread to make sure I am not looking over builders that...

    Besides TacOps, the best of the best

    Don't have a Rolex and my coffee is Maxwell House. I own a farm that doubles as my own range, so I can keep my low tech shooting skills on par. This is not for anyone else it just time for a classic rifle that I probably will not out perform. I am not chasing equipment but skills and I would...

    The AR15 Picture Thread

    I am building a very similar gas gun and just wondering what factory ammo you have tried through the Proof? Just ordered the same barrel today.

    Besides TacOps, the best of the best

    Thanks again for all the feedback. I believe TacOps will check all the boxes. In a dream world I think I am looking for the TacOps rifle in a walnut wood stock with adjustable cheek piece. This rifle to me will be art in motion, something I have always wanted. Not for comps, not for hunting...

    Besides TacOps, the best of the best

    I thought about AI but I already have 2 amazing custom builds in chassis. I definitely believe AI is the best production gun hands down, but looking more for the best custom rifle possible. Looking for ONE hole groups all day long, and feeling nostalgic about guns when things were simpler. I...

    Besides TacOps, the best of the best

    I have been looking at TacOps rifles for a few months now, and now I am wondering if anything else is in that category of build quality and accuracy. I think it is pretty amazing build the gun around the ammo and getting the result that Mike is getting. I have been looking at tons of other...

    Builder wise, I really enjoy working with Tim "Moon" Roberts at Crescent Customs. Glass, get the best you can afford! It is really difficult to beat the 6.5 Creedmoor, it is my go to hunting and long range caliber. A 22lr trainer is also a great and fun way to improve shooting skills. Also the...
