Can you tell me the frame, Shoulder and waist straps lengths? Art

I've shot 4 elk with the barns tsx 160, 450, 600, 650 and 525.. only the shot at 450 didn't exit and all dropped the bull within 20 yards.

I second on the Gempro 250. I own both a RCBA chargemaster and gempro and by far the gempro is what i use when I'm working on long range charges. If you work up your loads by FPS instead of "group sizes" you will find certain power ranges that doen't vary in FPS in which you can use a less...

First off yes this is my first custom rifle. I've worked up loads before on my other rifles and haven't had an issue. I am far from a reloading expert, but closer to intermediate level. everything i read about Berger says a lot of people load to lands.. obviously if i want to use the DM i...

Not re rehijack my thread back but if i were to load the Bergers off the lands would it affect the accuracy in the AX? Thoughts? i'm going to ask Kirby the same question so let's see who can get it right :D

Thanks guys for all your support. I think I will ask kirby if shooting berger off land will affect long range accuracy and if not have him use that.. If so then i'm back to the accubond or SMK.

This is what Kirby says about Berger : The 300 gr SMK has a very long track record in the field and I have yet to see one that came apart outside 200 yards. They may shed 1/2 their weight but so will the berger. BC for the SMK generally runs closer to .780-.790 at the velocity you will be...

Ok i've been round and round... In the next couple of weeks I will be getting my 338AX from kirby.. and yes it's been a long wait!!! I'm trying to choose the bullet i shoot so that I can play with my toy when it get's here. I think i've narrowed it down to the Accubond (300gr) or the SMK...

Nice doing business with you.. Can't wait to get my hands on it!!!

Do you still have this?

I've shot 3 bull elks from 600 to 750 yards with NF 3.5-15 with no problem. plenty of power to focus in!!!

Sry but it's mil/MOA... Good luck with finding a buyer

Bump for a great gun by a great gunsmith... How long did you have to wait for it?

I currently shoot a 7 mag and have harvested successful bulls at 600 and 700 yards and that's right about the limit of that gun. So time to upgraded!!! I've went round and round with what I need for a scope for my Raptor 338 Allen Express. Been waiting for this gun for almost 2 years and it's...

Well it's good to hear that he's alive and kicking.. I've got a build with him that I started jan of 2012. I've sent him a few questions over the last few months but haven't heard anything. last response I've had was back in Oct. I will reping him today. Thanks ---Art
