Well, we know Badger sold 100 short actions, 20 of them for the SH.com build....so where are the other 80?

Here's mine in a 1.5 AICS, I'm going to swap it to a 2.0 soon, if anyone needs a good deal on a black 1.5 inletted for the Badger and can wait a month PM me.

Anyway, I just got it back from Cerakoting and hope to post new pics and a range report soon but thought I'd start with my old pic.

Badger Action (obviously)
6x47L
25" Rock 1-8"
Badger FTE

Next week, I promise, I'll have load development done and you can punch bug holes with it.

jasonk,

My Badger M2008 action is in the oven curing in my shop as I type this. Used KG Coatings 3400 ceramic fill in Flat Black. First time trying this paint. I usually use the 2400. I will do the barrel tomorrow and I hope to post pics tomorrow evening.

Thanks,
Darin

That thing is SWEET....Adam (BauerArms) has one.....Ive handled it...and Ill say this...that damn thing is a TANK! Looks like you would need more than just a bunch of dynamite to damage it!

Sweet stick though man.....why would you switch to a 2.0 after having the work needed done to a 1.5? Then again....I just never understood the price difference just for the folding stock...my personal .02

Re: Badger M2008 Builds.....Where are they?? Pics...

Wow, those are some impressive sticks. You'll have to post how they shoot. Not to mention that I'm envious of that beautiful land to shoot on!

1.0 - Looks like my stock basically but fixed cheekpiece
1.5 - Adjustable cheekpiece as shown above
2.0 - Adjustable cheekpiece and the stock folds

See Bauer's pics for the black hinge and break in the stock right behind the grip.

PS.....I'm selling my 1.5 if someone wants a good deal to complete their Badger build on.

Re: Badger M2008 Builds.....Where are they?? Pics...

Those are all awsome builds but the question i have is where the hell are the long actions??

I'm currently saving up for a long range build either a 7WSM of 338 Lapua improved and was wondering when the long actions will be out. I got impatient last time and stared my build only to find out half way through the wait and all of the deposit for my action that M2008 was released.

Re: Badger M2008 Builds.....Where are they?? Pics...

Shot a few 5 shot groups but the wind was seriously kicking my ass today (10-20mph) so I could only manage around a 10" group but once the barrel is broken in I am thinking this thing is gonna be a shooter for sure!

I've been looking at Shot Show reports all day and have yet to see any Badger long action pics. I had read somewhere that he was officially releasing it at the SS.

Does anyone know if you could do a .510 Whisper in the long action?

Hi Letmeshootit,

Nice pics! Your build looks good!

Question. I am considering a higher power range NF scope but I am concerned about excessive mirage and not being able to use much above 20 power. Do you find this to be a problem?

Thanks,
Darin

Re: Badger M2008 Builds.....Where are they?? Pics...

Hey Darin,

I think its personal preference. Have you used any of the higher end scopes with larger objectives? I questioned the same thing when I decided to go with a 12-42 instead of a 5.5-22. Im glad I got it now. I like having the ability to use high power if I can. I was used to looking through inferior scopes that were terrible at high power. I find the scope clarity to be so much better that mirage is rarely a problem compared to other lower quality scopes. If mirage is bad just dial back down. If you can get by with 45moa of elevation on the 12-42 your good to go if not go with the 8-32 which has 65moa elevation. I think the extra 300 bucks over the 22 is worth having the higher power when mirage is not a problem. If I bought another scope tomorrow I would still by the higher power.

Thanks!

Just shot some Nosler 125's yesterday at the SH Practical Tactical target and average distance was 0.36" @ 100. She loves the 175 Black Hills as well. Marty makes a sick action and Bartlein makes an awesome tube!

All of the builds look great. You guys are killing me though! Looks like I'm going to have to start eating Ramen noodles for lunch again.

Tell me about that trigger! My Jewell feels a little mushy and I'm interested in alternatives. I just want a nice 2.5 lb trigger with a real crisp break. Two-stage is fine with me.

I'm not a Jewel fan but if yours is mushy it is not adjusted properly.

Did a little research and apparently that CG Jackson trigger is "da schnizzle" Some say its better than the Anschutz triggers.....wow. Think I'm gonna give it a try on current build.

Also looks like they are going to produce a "tactical" version for R700 and clones: http://www.x-tremeshooting.com/index.php?page=cgxtrememod22
Oops, think I might have just increased my wait time....:)

I would have to say this makes it in the top 5 on this site; regardless of what type of action or caliber!
