Swapping the AG Composites Adjustable Hunter with SRS Hunters Rail Short for the Manners Pro Hunter. Amazing weight savings.

Big fan of the pro hunter and LRH!
I should have ordered mini chassis, I had it ordered for M5 DBM and the TL3 action but the pillars aren't bedded, cut or molded/shaped to the action. Looks like I'll have to get this over to a proper gunsmith to have this work done, bummer.

It’s a build in progress. Scope has changed, stock will change. Scope changed to a NF 2.5-10, stock is undecided at this moment. Barrel is currently being spun up by Southern Precison/Bugholes, it is an 18 inch 1:9 Brux.
Thinking a PH or ultra classic with the new micro chassis is gonna be my next purchase.

Mini chassis is nice.
For a walking rifle I am digging that weight without it.
Stock Looks good. Post it up when you get it all wrapped up.
I think it was 31.4-gr Varget @2,850-fps. Berger 105 hybrids, Alpha brass. I can confirm later.
I'm curious to hear what everyone's experience is with any increase in decibel level going from a longer (22" to 24") down to sub 18" barrel length with these rifles? I'm really liking the shorter barrel for my next hunting rifle.

I went from 24" to 16.5" but I also shoot/hunt with suppressors 100% of the time. My main motivator for cutting the barrel down in the first place was to keep the length reasonable when suppressed.
Unfortunately I won't be hunting suppressed and as of last season I now hunt with electronic earmuffs so I don't think any increase will be an issue for me but just curious.

22 Creedmoor, Kelbly Atlas Lite, 18" Preferred Carbon, Manners CS. Gonna be a heck of a truck gun!
AG does not get the credit they deserve for their style and design. Really great stocks. Beautiful rifle sir.
I'm 1/2 an inch over, but here is my 18.5". just put it together after I got my barrel back today from PVA.

I think I have my 22CM in its final configuration.
Terminus Apollo Lite
Carbon6 17” 22CM
Manners PH
Dead Air LTi
NX8 2.5-20
Hawkins BM and low rings
TT Special
Slings 69 SMKs at 3340. 9lbs 4.5oz with suppressor and loaded mag. To me, I’m not sure there’s a better coyote gun out there.

It’s not light:
Manners PRS TCS
NF NX8 4-32
Solus action
Proof SS .308 cut to 16”
How much velocity could I pick up on a 16” barrel going from 223ai to 22br shooting 53 vmax and 75 eldms? Have a new barrel waiting to get chambered and keep bouncing back and forth on the best choice for caliber. I have brass for both calibers would need a new bushing since I was shooting 6br but not a big deal.
Going to be for pdogs and coyotes.
I like the idea of the br so I can make a switch barrel to a 7/08 for hunting without buying a new bolt.

Drool…I would give my middle nut for that set up. Very nicely done, Sir.
I passed on one of those chassis a couple of years ago. Haven’t found one that wouldn’t need a small loan to buy since then. Regret that misstep a lot.
Awesome little coyote rig right there! Curious, do you reload for it? Shoot heavies or lighter bullets? I have a 18” 1-8t 6creed in the works right now.
Sold off some precision rifles to consolidate down to one, as my two kids aren't allowing me to shoot as much precision stuff. Pistol tend to be the main gig.
Origin Action
Preferred Barrels 18" M24 (6.5cm - 0.160" freebore)
Rex MG7 in .358 bore w/ Griffin micro break

Finally got around to installing my new barrel and stock on this action to get it to it's final-ish form. I'm probably going to sponge or pattern spray the stock with some alumahyde paint I have, and install an aluminum bottom metal at some point. Also I had to go with high rings with the WSM due to ejection interference with the windage knob, but the PRC cases seem to be ejecting lower, so I'm going to try to go back to mediums.
Tikka T3x
19" Carbon six 7mm PRC 1:8 Featherweight (cut factory barrel shown for comparison)
Stockys VG Carbon stock
Athlon Chinesium special in Sports match rings
New stock so new picture. Was nice to lose the 2 + lbs going from the manners T6a team the JCS at 24 oz. Also swapped to APA RTG metal. Still need to flute barrel and then spray it and the brake black.

Manners Pro Hunter stock change. A big thanks to Porter's Precision for knocking out the bedding so quickly.
Just waiting on glass.
Was that sheep messin with your “girlfriend” or a planned hunt?
Nice euro BTW.
Where are you on weight with the rig sans glass and what you putting on it?
Im gonna get to test a LRH later this spring.
Hate spending $ and if that much better than my EH1 or GameWarden Edge I will have to do it…..
hows the length to trigger vs the EH1?
Their tac stocks are too far for my small hands

He scored 27.5, I'll take it for an unplanned hunt. He stepped out last year during deer season while I was taking a crap under the blind and I dropped him from 130 with a 300BLK 110gr. Considering the circumstances, my pants around my ankles and all, I rank that as one hell of a Aoudad hunt lol.
The glass is going to be an ATACR 4-16x42 so it'll add another 30oz. to the current weight of 7lb 11oz with AccurateMag, ARC M10 rings, and TBAC Ultra7 Gen 2. I am expecting a final weight of right around 9lbs with an empty mag, no bipod. No clue on trigger reach comparisons but I have average size hands and reach is not an issue.

That seems to happen a lot around here with blacktail deer, go to poo a buck shows up.
It never fails, every time I go to my boat stalls I have to take a crap, I really need to leave a Luggable Loo in there haha. I tell my wife I just need to remember to head over to the boat stall if I ever get backed up lol.
Imma send you some of them NASA diapers Moose
Like that crazy broad who drove straight through. To kill her boyfriend’s wife I think….
Just clean up later!
Also handy if your packin quarters and a grizz pops out real close.
Man I wish they did the cs2 for tikka
That thing is sick.
Had mine out Saturday I have 170 thru this Bart 308. I took my 223 barrel off put this one on at the range and that's the first 10.
Shooting the 168gr Speers.
That group includes the cold bore in there somewhere. Cheap bullets no cleaning, no break in no load development, 'out dated' sfp scope .
Love this thing

Thats an awesome shoot story!!
Have an old buddy who shot an elk same way with a recurve.
They walked up in the woods while he was squatted.
12 yd shot.
I hear these all the time and I'm always curious how the hell an elk or whatever can't smell shit from 12yds away, regardless of where the wind is blowing.
The other theory is they're ok with the smell of shit and maybe thats almost an advantage lol
