My budget .257 WBTY build ...

[FEENIX]

Savage LA, McGowen SS (cerakoted) 1:7" 22" 5R Remington standard contour, MBM 4-port beast, Oryx chassis. I just screwed it together (not head-spaced) for a teaser picture.

This is my first .25 caliber. I considered the .25-06 AI and the .25 Gibbs before deciding on the .257 WBTY. I am not a fan of proprietary cartridges but I figure I give it a try. It is primarily built for the 133 Berger but I will be trying the 117 Cayuga until the Berger is available.

(Factory 100 SP vs 117 Cayuga).

More to follow ...

I've had really good luck with the savage build I did in 22 creed. Will be interesting too see how yours turns out

Feenix,

Tagging in on this. Just purchased a MkV 257 Roy over the weekend. It's only a 10 twist, but Im going to try and send the 92HH at warp speed with it. My 25SST is a 7 twist, so I've got the heavies covered too. Let us know how load development goes.

Ditto!
Is that some 'Polished Knob' custom work?

You're going to like that .257. My cousin had a 25/06AI built, but still would rather go with the Weatherby.

 

[Barrelnut]

Likewise on loving the knob. Whole dang thing looks pretty nice. 25 cal with that twist and bullet from that WTBY case ought to be real interesting!

Is that some 'Polished Knob' custom work?

Yep!

Beautiful rifle brother!! I will be watching how the 131 blackjacks will stack up against the Cayuga and Berger's in your 1-7" twist. Good luck brother Ed aloha!!

 

[Shane Lindsey]

Not sure how you are disciplined enough to put it together and not be on the range today.

Cool rifle for sure.

Very nice! Have you tried a Jared trigger yet?
