New Elk Terminating Toy

[Longtine88]

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?

Gorgeous rifle, in a great caliber. I think you'll be thrilled.

Nice rifle. Curious on the 22" with a magnum. What kind of speeds are you seeing?

 

[Longtine88]

Actually bought all the components, sent it to Nick at Straight Jacket Armory to bed, spin the barrel and assemble.

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.

Those APR's will shoot for sure. I have 4 of theirs.

Wait what happened to the 7 SAUM? If it needs a nice home I'm open to adopting.

 

[Longtine88]

Oh no your not getting the saum lol. I actually have another saum 22" proof I put on a terminus action along with a 28 nosler.

Looks awesome! But makes me wonder.. my elk rifle is about the exact same weight and I considered it to be heavy. I've never rifle hunted in the mountains though, so I'm not sure what's typical. What did your previous rifle weight? Mine has a heavier 24" barrel and no can.

 

[Longtine88]

I just like a heavier rifle. This is the lightest one I have. Take the scope and can off and its a 7.5 pound rifle

Great looking rig. I believe that's the ruckus hunter though not an anti x action. I'm curious to see your velocities
