Seems like there are more than a few here who have either built a Form 1 bolt action or went the brace route. Either way, post em' up!

- Start date
Been considering doing a Form 1 on a spare 700 action, adding a folder and a circa 14.5 suppressed barrel for hunting recently........been put off my lack of reloading components amd ammo as I'm struggling to shoot what I have on hand currently
This rifle recently found a new home, maybe the new owner has some updated pics. @M249Gunn3r
It’s a 14.5” (pinned) 308 in a JTAC chassis. Seen here set up for shanking hogs after the sun goes down:

About as good a job as any can on an 11” .308. Have not measured, but I sincerely doubt it’s ear safe. I always wear ear pro anyways, especially when mounted to my helmet.
No better time to do it than now. Get it approved and order your components. It’ll all come together by the time you have it all collected, ready to shoot.
I didn’t make them myself, but it was Berger 115’s going about 2950. Bleeds velocity rather quickly but is a hammer for unknown distance night shooting under 300 yards
I hear ya. That 308 I posted is a perfect clip-on host for taking pigs and yotes inside of 600 yards. Of course, it requires a raptar with AB, but it's more than doable. Without a Raptar, I'd say 300 yards is about my comfort zone on game. Reality is, I don't shoot past 300 yards at night anyways ~ even with the best available equipment. So ... SBRs work great!
I'll throw my 8" caliber 6xc in here too, I love the shorties so much!!
No data available yet, have been too busy, but I plan measure FPS this weekend

i havent even tried shooting it without the canI'll but that sucker thumps without the can
I'll be clearing the lane left and right of me next weekend range trip. TBAC has my suppressor as part of the recall. Be interested to see how she's held up from the beating.
i only blasted some rounds in the backyard with the can, i liked the sound of it, really different then a normal rifle and it didnt hurt my ears
If Christensen ever sends my 6.5 MPP that I won I can share that...
But I think I'm waiting till they bulk send to dealers. Was hoping to be one of the first with a range report.

I've been thinking of building something and then I see Bergara came out with this-
I think 6ARC or 6.5G might be fun in one of these. Throw it in a backpack and go hiking.

I'm anticipating around 2200fps, today I will know for sure.
The reason for 6xc is I shoot it in my other rifle, I'm very happy with it and I'm set up for reloading for it with a lifetime of brass , I just didn't want to add anything else.
Christensen Arms MPP
In those calibers and 300BLK.
Have one on the way in 6.5CM
Moment I get it, going to E-file it.
Q Mini Fix 300 BO with Q Trash Panda it’s a Pistol now but I think I am going to SBR it soon. Quiet setup with 220 gr subsonic I love this gun

What kind of groups are you getting from it?
At 50 yards probably around 2” I will try and take some pictures of groups next time I go out. I just started reloading so I have only done the minimum loads with accurate 1680 11 grains with 220 Berry’s bullets and LIL GUN as well both seemed about the same for accuracy so far.
Fun gun to shoot and very quiet. I was able to hit the 200 yard steel plates at Rio Salado shooting range.

Just received shipping for my Mini Fix. Debating if I want to sell it or keep it now that my ears are perked about the SPR300 from B&T. I've got The Fix stock and several accessories for it. Pricing wise, they're not far apart when you add up the extras. Decisions, decisions.
