New Elk Terminating Toy

Don't know yet. Will not shoot until tomorrow but I will report what I find on this thread. I wanted a short barrel and the goal was to reach 2,900' with it. Time will tell.
I'd be surprised if you hit 2900 with that set up. Beautiful rifle and definitely keep us posted on velocity. What powder you plan on running?
 
Great looking rig. I believe that's the ruckus hunter though not an anti x action. I'm curious to see your velocities
Oops your right. I have two antiX's also. I thought it was on one of them.

Barrel breaking now using H1000 74.5 grains. Cleaning after each shot. 2750'ish currently with lower charges. Starting pressure testing shortly
 
Looks like a well built rifle. But, that shiny action has got to go. Or is that to spook them out a bit farther so you can test out the new loads? :D
 
So, The older I get and the wiser I decided to build a lighter, shorter and quieter rifle to carry. Hopefully this one will finish out my hunting days maybe except a barrel. Pretty slick I think. Starting pressure testing and breaking in barrel tomorrow. Gonna shoot 215 hybrids in it. 300 Win Mag 22" proof 9.4" twist. Anti X action, Trigger Tech special, Trash Panda Suppressor, HS Precision bottom metal and AG stock, NX8 4-32 to top it off. 10.6 pounds total as shown. What do y'all think?

I think that's an awesome Elk rifle. I have one of my own and love it. Getting parts together for a 300PRC to see how it compares in all ways to my 300WM. Not a replacement but rather an addition to my litter.
