Re: PERSEUS Precision Rifle/Underground Skunkworks

That looks pretty tight Mike, is the Jaeger gonna look similar to the PERSEUS?

Thanks Ed....The JAEGER is the Long Action version of the PERSEUS. Same configuration with a longer barrel.

According to the website, the Jaeger is offered in 338LM. And like you, I think I'll be making a phone call when I get back home next week to place an order. Now I just need to figure out color. Ha-Ha!

The JAEGER will be available in .300WM and .338LM, but as of last week there are two new chamberings (one .300 and one .338) that are ballistically superior to the WM and comparable to the LM....The most attractive aspects are a shorter cartridge and half the price....

Thanks PIC and yours will be the same with the exception of the 18" barrel. I can change finish colors if you want, but we have a little time if you want to think about the colors....

[tundramuscle03]

Re: PERSEUS Precision Rifle/Underground Skunkworks

Mike, just outta curiosity, when a rifle is built, can we request that the caliber be put on the rifle in metric number...like 7.62x51 for .308, 7.62x63 for .30-06 or 7.62x67 for .300

 

[BlackOps Tech]

Re: PERSEUS Precision Rifle/Underground Skunkworks

I'll have to give that a little thought as I've not made it a practice to mark the chambering in the metric convention....

 

[tundramuscle03]

Re: PERSEUS Precision Rifle/Underground Skunkworks

No prob, was just curious...

 

[AXEMAN]

Re: PERSEUS Precision Rifle/Underground Skunkworks

man you are really coming out with some nice stuff. that fit on the tang area of the stock is the best i can recall seeing anywhere. i just kept looking at that photo. very nice rifle and superb attention to detail. congrats

After giving it a little thought, why not? If I'm asked to mark the chambering in the metric equivalent, consider it done....

Re: PERSEUS Precision Rifle/Underground Skunkworks

Wow I gotta hand it to you, AXE sure as hell wasn't kidding about that rear tang area, and that mag release inside the trigger guard is frickin sweet, I've seen some articles on your guns before Mike, but these pictures do it a lot more justice than the ones in the articles. The attention to detail is just amazing. Much respect to you and your work Mike!

Re: PERSEUS Precision Rifle/Underground Skunkworks

I shot one of these today, exactly as pictured. All I can say is Wow

what a rifle. Smooth as it is beautiful, solid as a rock, and a pleasure to shoot. The finish work was outstanding, like a swiss watch so to speak. Someday. . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: PERSEUS Precision Rifle/Underground Skunkworks

Glad you liked it....I received a very good report from the writer that shot in the match. The body of his e-mail reads:

<span style="font-style: italic">Mike,

The Perseus managed the impossible, making a gun writer look like a legitimate shooter. Attached is an 8.5 x 11" target sheet where the object was a three shot group and then to put shots into hostage takers and not hostages. After scoring this round, I drew the interest of several shooters, some of whom I later fire a few rounds.

Out to 900, it performed extraordinarily well.

Should have a draft of the story done within a week or so. </span>


The target he was referring to:

Thanks ColdBore for the report....
