Fun shorty 28 Nos Project

[Happyshooter]

One of my clients from Iowa called and asked that I set up a light weight rifle that he could hunt in very thick timber or step out and take a six or seven hundred yard shot if necessary. He was partial to the 28 Nosler that I did for him years ago so we decided to stick with that cartridge. Here's a parts list that was used.

Zermatt SR3 action
Proof Research 22" Light Sendero 8 twist barrel
Triggertech Diamond Pro Trigger
AG Composite Alpine Hunter stock in Carbon Blaze - He saw my 6.5 demo and liked the look so we ran with it.
HS Precision detachable magazine
US Optics 1.8-10x Foundation Series scope. NOTE: He was concerned with the low power range but that changed as soon as he shot it.
I used the 195 grain Berger EOL with a temp stable powder and ADG brass for the preferred load.
The Energetic Arms Vox K2 took the pop out while I was doing load development. I just recently started using this line of suppressors and have been extremely happy with them.

After break-in I fired a couple quick standing at about ten yards, then one off Gunstix at 1010 Yards, then one shot off a bench at 1746 just for fun.
He came out from Iowa and tried it yesterday and was extremely happy. So was I!!

Nice rig. Im building one really close to that next week. What velocity were you getting with those 195's?

2867 FPS. Good groups at longer distances. Didn't really check group size at 100 yards.
