Shooters,
Just sharing some info and pictures about a really great rifle we just built for the crew at Bartlein Barrels. Bartlein Barrels, Inc. - Main Page Here is what we came up with.
Short Action Customs: Alpha 11, medium, integral lug/rail, APA bolt knob, SAC Lower Bolt Clearance, Melonited bolt.
Manners MCS-TF4, short action, right hand.
Black Ops Precision DBM system and EFR.
Timney 510U tuned to 2.5 lbs.
Bartlein Rem Varmint, 6.5mm, 1-8" twist, S/N 30,000
We started by performing our Lower Bolt Clearance modification to the action, then Meloniting the bolt. Extremely smooth bolt manipulation. Next we barreled up the action in 6.5 Creedmoor and cut to 22.5" which is a great length and allows you to reach the hotter accuracy node with 140 series bullets with out getting into pressure trouble. We fitted the Surefire MB762SSAL/RE brake/mount for their Surefire suppressors. Next we did our signature rifle bedding and then installed the "medallion" into the butt of the stock. Next we sent the rifle off to Branden at Custom Gun Coatings for our 4 color Flectar stock finish which is always great! We did our best to make a rifle that is worthy of celebrating 30,000 amazing barrels!
