[QUOTE="cmor, post: 1612454, member: 42940"] I have another Gradous built 300 Norma and it is the most accurate rifle I have ever shot, but it is heavy and a 26" barrel with a suppressor isn't exactly fun to carry through thick timber in Wyoming chasing elk. My hope with this build was to keep the accuracy and knock down power, but at a lighter weight and with a shorter barrel. The obvious fear was that I might give away too much velocity with the shorter barrel. Robert Gradous built 300 Norma Pierce Titanium Action Manners EH-4 Elite Stock Trigger Tech 22" Kreiger 5.5 9 Twist HS Precision FM Just over 7 pounds naked A little over 9 pounds ready to hunt The target below is 9 shots at 100 yards with 9 different power charges covering 84-88 grains of H1000 pushing 181 grain Hammer Hunter bullets with no pressure signs. I am very happy with the build. [ATTACH=full]129661[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]129662[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]129663[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
