Don’t tease, Post ‘em! Get that bad boy out and take some pictures. We want before and after!Just got a 17" .280ai Kimber Hunter that I'm going to run suppressed all the time for hunting. Don't have pics yet…
How do you like the outlier chassis? I've had mine on order since December but they are having problems with making them for the TikkasRemy 700 SPS Tactical, .308, 16.5”, Arken Optics EP5, Outlier chassis. Shoots great!
Didn't get any pics before sending it off to Ecco machine for threading, but I'll post some up when it gets back.Don’t tease, Post ‘em! Get that bad boy out and take some pictures. We want before and after!

Nice nails Mr. Swede...

Nice rig, dude! I'm of the opinion that a shorty should be a folder but that's just me, haha. I'm curious to hear what kinda speed you get out of it? I'm getting a med palma done up as a 18" 6.5 creed as well. Kinda figuring on mid 2600s with H4350 and 140 ELDMs.I can finally participate in this thread!

My hunting rig for around here is an older Benchmark .308 med palma I had chopped to 20" in a folding HNT26. Makes for a nice compact package. I'm pretty sure I have folders on all my bolt guns save for my match rifles, haha.Thanks!
I bought this barrel for hunting, this barreled action will sit in a KRG Bravo for hunting season. Was too poor to build a dedicated hunting rifle, so this is a compromise for now.
I do agree though, that short rifles and folding stocks/chassis go hand in hand. Would be cool to have a short "truck gun" setup one day in that configuration!
I'll have to get back to you on velocities. I went to the range last weekend, but the data I collected is a little suspect.
Years ago I recall reading an article on how rifle powders were supposedly being developed for short barrels, more commonly becoming a norm. I don't remember specifics but doesn't seem to have taken place. While short barrels are cool and functional, without a silencer, loud and harder to shoot.
Anyone heard or know what powders are better for these 16-18" barrels? 6.5cm and .308
No, it was referencing shorter barrels like we see in AR SBR's and short bolts, 16-18 range which at the time was very odd to typically seeProbably the same ones for a 22-26" barrel
Varget and H4350 work well in my 16” 6.5CM. Lean towards Varget ….39.2gr gives 2750fps shooting 123ELDMs.No, it was referencing shorter barrels like we see in AR SBR's and short bolts, 16-18 range which at the time was very odd to typically see
anTi actionNow I can't wait to finish my anTi.
Need details, man. Caliber, length, weight.
It’s a Mesa precision altitude. I believe ag composites makes it to their specs. It’s pretty dam lightweight at 25 oz for being full figured, and the guys at Mesa have been awesome to deal with too. Price isn’t crazy either. Hope that helps man.Tell me about that stock
I’ll add more TRG shortie representation, my 308 trimmed to 18”
Nice! Does the x-caliber barrel use a nut? How was the wait time from them?I've shared this rifle before but I've changed basically everything on it so i can't keep this from you!

Thanks! Total weight is 9lbs 1oz as it sits in the picture except without the mag. I don't think you'll be disappointed, I really like mine.What is the total weight? Nice build I’m looking for an 18in barrel for my tikka.

@evilsvt Sweet rig.
Did you ever get your 6 PRC running
I had similar results with a different caliber. Go heavier with a fast powder and run it below light speed. You will get more complete burn and likely low SDs.Tried a couple of lighter projectiles with faster powder to get the speed up, but accuracy was shit.
Will do, it’s a 1:9 so I can’t get into the 105 class but I do have some 95 I’ll try out.I had similar results with a different caliber. Go heavier with a fast powder and run it below light speed. You will get more complete burn and likely low SDs.
Love it. Any issues getting the supressor/muzzle device aligned properly? I have a Cross with a crooked mount and must tinker with it...Bone stock Sig Cross 16” 308 with mini TBAC can and Mk5. View attachment 7743148
