The Sweetest Short Rifle Ever! DE LRKM in 6.5-284 Win

[Shawn Carlock]

This was a unique and fun project, quite surprised at how much I liked it when it was finished. 24" Proof barrel, Thunderbeast Ultra 9 suppressor, ATACR NF. OAL with can off but adapter brake on 34.7", Shoots the 140 Bergers very well, 3 shots .176" / 100 yards, at 3048 fps. I was very happy to see this performance from the Proof barrel, my past experience has not been solid with them. The issues we had in previous barrels seems to be addressed and squared away. I am looking forward to using some of them now that we can produce a product that meets our standards.

Sweet little rifle. How much does it weigh?

Did you chose bolt action for accuracy sake? I am interested because I am building a couple of LR AR rigs trying to get the best accuracy and wondered if I am chasing a herring?

It is not the lightest just the shortest. Weight naked with no scope or bipod is 11.1 lbs.

Depends on how LR you want, at some distance the ES of most gas guns will limit you. From where we sit and the distances we were concerned with a bolt was the only realistic option.

What powder you running in it?

The thing with that rifle is all the weight (11lb) is near you, up close. So I bet it really handles well.

 

[Farmerbrown]

Probably handles amazing. Be a pain in the *** carrying it up the mountain though. It's gonna be 15 lbs outfitted.

 

[pawater]

I bet its sweet to shoot though

 

[Shawn Carlock]

It is great offhand and from unstable positions. It is a bit weighty.
