My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

[Inzaneriderz]

Hey all, just like the title says this is my first rifle/venture into the precision/long range shooting community. It seems like it took forever and a day to get it all together but the wait was worth it...

Specs:
Cadex Strike 30 Chassis
R700 Short Action .308 Blueprinted
Huber Concepts 2 Stage 2 lb trigger
24" Kreiger Fluted Barrel 1-10 twist (#8 Profile)
Holland Oversized recoil lug
Surgeon bolt handle (pinned and welded)
Bolt spiral fluted by Kampfeld
Larue LT111 OBR Scope Mounts
NightForce 5.5-22x56 w/ NP-R1, Zero Stop
Holland scope level
Harris Bipod w/ pod lock
AAC 51T Flash Hider
AAC 762SD Suppressor
AICS 5Rd Mag

For a novice bolt gun shooter, I think it is pretty accurate... My best 5 shot group yet at 100 yards using Federal Gold Match 175 BTHP 2618FPS gave me a .446 grouping, although the suppressor did spread the grouping out to .661 when installed, but I did only lose some 85 FPS with suppression. I am very excited to see what this gun and I am capable of with some more range time...Thanks for all the good info on the hide and I hope you enjoyed...

Nice rig! How do you like the 2 stage trigger?

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

I would say you "Jumped right in" as far as a first gun is concerned. That is a very nice first gun. In fact, it is a very nice last gun.

Be safe and have fun.

Cheers.

Nice rifle! But this^

Every rifle that I have run over a chrono has gained FPS when the suppressor was attached.

That is a "KICK ASS" first rifle. But I do see one big problem with it. How in the world are you going to best it when you get ready for your second precision rifle?"

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

That's a awesome first rifle. I bet it cost you quite a bit for all those parts.

Could have had a Prius for what he probably has invested in that. Green Peace is crappin' their drawers tonight!!!

truly one of a kind! very nice!

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

Terrible! Truly shitty! You're just going to have to pack that piece of crap up, send it to me and do it over until you get it right. Now quit fucking around, get that hunk of crap over to UPS shipping and start over!

No shit right!

Really nice way to start out.

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

Solid shooting, but do you need a hydraulic lift to get your cheek weld? Groups don't lie, but that is pretty nuts, I'd like to see how it works. Good looking gun, welcome to the club.

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

Terrific looking rig.

 

[BiggHertz]

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

That looks great...

That's gotta be at least 3 inches or greater height over bore right there...is it a comfortable rig?

I have about 7K invested in the setup with all the gunsmithing and suppressor/ atf tax

 

[Inzaneriderz]

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

As far as the rig being comfortable... after fondling a BUNCH of stocks/chassis to me it is the most ergonomically correct stock fit for me... as far as the scope being above the bore, yeah it is up there, but when nestled into this stock with all the adjustments it isn't nearly as awkward as some have made it out to be and is very accommodating... if you ever have a chance to see and play with this chassis in person you will see what I mean about the scope height "issue" some are claiming to see... I assure you they have little to no time with the chassis and are making assumptions on what they see in pics...to say the least I was Addicted to the remington MSR and XM2010 to the point that when I heard Drake Associates was gonna be bringing these into the US I had to have one...and for what it is worth Chris Drake is an awesome guy to deal with if you are interested in the chassis.

I absolutely love the Huber two stage trigger... I have all 2 stage triggers in all my gas guns and now understand why everyone I talk to that has a Huber 2 stage in their bolt guns are raving about them

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

$7k worth of some pretty awesome equipment. Enjoy your purchase. I bet the bank account is dead for the next 6 months or so

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

Very nice rifle. Is this the same rifle in the movie Bourne Legacy?

 

[skep_tic1]

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

I like it.... or, I better like it so I can fit in this thread.
May I ask a question tho?
Why does it make me think about aliens/Martians and spaceships?

 

[t185]

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

"immersion test to follow"

My first thought.

 

[Whit]

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

That is a great looking rig, Congrats.

 

[SPEAK338]

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

Nice start! I thought the scope on these chassis's were too high? Even the XM2010 and the MSR, Why soo high?

 

[Drake Associates]

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

The final build looks awesome! Congrats. It's been a pleasure working with you.

 

[cruze5]

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

wow just wow, congrats on the precision rifle

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

Outstanding first rifle. Did Drake build this for you?

No drake supplied just the chassis but the rest was my creation with the help of my gunsmith

 

[Boydo]

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

See there's your problem. Your wife caught on when that big brown truck started coming to your house everyday. Then she checked your checking account and realized you spent all the money that was going towards her boob job and your balance was now at $6.32. Now she told you to take the stupid rifle and get the fuck out of her kitchen. And there you are, living in the backyard next to the damn pool because you don't even have a dog house. Freakin' clueless novice!!! Sure is a pretty rifle though.

 

[JGorski]

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

Very cool rifle, glad you didnt get the AICS chassis. Now I wanna see how it shoots and if it'll out shoot my Rem SPSS at 300yds, or hell, @600yds for that matter, just shot a 4.7" group at that distance, if it dont you wasted 7K on that build, haha.

Thats my 308 on top.

 

[jwp6114]

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

I have a question, i have seen similar rigs with sight over bore that look like 5" or so

my question is does the larger sight over bore affect zeroing or the point in the adjustment range where your zero is a bit more extream than a lower sight over bore?

Thanks,
Jake

 

[Inzaneriderz]

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

Not really sure as to what you are asking me about my zero being more extreme because of the height of the optic over the bore... in theory I would say probably just because the greater the distance over the bore the harder the angle would have to be to meet the POI at whatever distance? I zeroed the rifle in 4 shots

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

nice rig, that sight rail is way too high for me though.

yea no worries, i was just wondering if that much sight over bore required you to zero the optic in a more extream position than nutral (if its a zero base),can you tell us if it is 20 MOA or flat? i would assume thats a 5.5-22x50 or 56 NF with 100 MOA ov verticle travel,

will you dial your elevivation knob all the way up and let us know how much elivation you get please,

Thanks Jake

Forgot to mention that is a sweet looking rig.

 

[jwp6114]

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

And if you dont mind... how much did the Cadex Strike 30 Chassis run you?

 

[Inzaneriderz]

Re: My First Precision Rifle... Pics inside

The Strike 30 has a 20 MOA rail incorporated and I believe the Chassis cost me around 2200... check with Drake Associates I believe they consistenly have ads in the group buy or commercial sections of the Selling forums... it is the nightforce 5.5-22x56 and next time I have it out I will check my adjustment range
