Custom and Semi custom rifle photos/porn

The rifle is proving to be a tack driver, and a bit of a tweak to the seating depth, seen the groups tighten to 0.3" and the chronograph certainly liked what it seen.

With that done, I took the rifle out for its first outing to see how it would perform. The deer were playing ball, so I managed to get myself a nice freezer filler for the rifles first shot in anger.

You just gotta love those 130gr Sierra GC's; they always perform well!

They certainly haven't proven to be hard to load for. I think my worst group was at around 3/4" when just breaking the barrel in.

It will be good to see how they perform out at distance, once I have had a chance to check out my drops to 500 yards.

Awesome build, how do you find that moderator with the muzzle brake?

It's great to be honest.
The ability to watch your bullet strike is the main reason I went with this option.

You do lose some sound suppression as expected, but it's still not bad at all.
Id say it's about 15% louder with the brake on the end of the mod. But I can live with that with the benefits it brings.

Brilliant thankyou, it’s also the bullet strike that makes it appeal to me…

Yeah, Frank Galli just did a podcast on moderators with brakes. His key take away was that it keeps the rifle level during the recoil impulse, which is always longer on a suppressed rifle. Ironically, a suppressed rifle (which is foreign to many Americans) has to be driven like a semi-auto (since it also has a longer recoil impulse due to all the moving parts). Whenever I have given class/instruction at our train ups, and a shooter "has his/her first new suppressor" they tend to have shotgun pattern groups, and can't figure out why (they've become accustomed to a braked bolt action rifle, where they can get away with slapping the trigger), I tell them to run it like an AR. And voila! Magic. The groups shrink back down to normal.

Braked cans/moderators are a compromise. Flattens/levels the recoil impulse (better recoil management, and more visibility of bullet splash) with only a small addition of noise. And with some of the new flow through designed cans, even that small additional noise is even more minimal of a difference.

He sent it to me and I had to read it a few times

Swear a bit

Read it again


Then congratulate
