37XC build

[Bravo6niner]

37xc build I’m finished up. Had to make a forearm for the AX chassis since the barrel OD was to big for the ID of the AX handguard. Hoping to get it out in the next few days and start load development.

1581xl action
K&P 1-7 twist 33” barrel done by SAC
AX chassis
Apa brake
TT diamond

planning to start with 400gr flatlines and 8133

Looks great. Looking forward to how it shoots

Look at the Badlands 400gr icbm2 1.125g1 and about 1/2 the cost of flatlines

Thanks for the heads up on those. The Warner’s do get pricey for sure!!

 

[Geno C.]

They’re a good bullet no doubt, but they’re a bit out of line with their price compared to others. For solids, all I run is badlands now

 

[Longshot85]

Remind me gents....

What was the verdict on the factory savage action?

Any strength issues or were issues determined to be otherwise ?

 

[Geno C.]

Mine is a fair bit bigger than an xc and I’ve had no strength issues

Roger that.

Can you remind me what setup you're running ?

Thanks

It’s a 116 single shot. 138gr of H50bmg under a 285 going 3342

 

[memilanuk]

116? Or 112?

 

[Geno C.]

112, not sure why I typed 16

That is impressive! What’s the parent case?



As for my savage 112. It’s holding up great even with the punishment I’ve put it through.

Would look even better if that bullet was seated out farther

 

[jasent]

Never mind I figured out the case. Should have known as Shawn is doing my 37XC barrel

 

[Geno C.]

Shawn? The parent case is a Cheytac

I’m lucky to not have it in backwards

First 4rds though it to get sighted in at a 100yds. Bolt lift was a bit sticky

Finished mine up.
Bat model L 1.75 multiflat. 1.5inch for 10 inch to 1.25inch at muzzle 39 inch barrel. 1 in 7 twist. McMillan a5 supermag stock full carbon heavy fill. Bix and Andy competition trigger. Going to place my March 10-60 high master on top. Terminator t5 brake. 27.5lb bare rifle. Changing butt spacers to steel to add weight. Balance point bare rifle is 1 inch in front of action.
Probably run my f class accutac bipod for now. Should rock the coyotes and groundhogs with ease I assume. Range day next weekend.

Looks great

And by rocking coyotes and groundhogs with ease.....you mean at 2 miles right ?

Put almost 1200 rounds through it. Slapped the oem barrel on it and sold it to a buddy.
