L691 Receivers

[tim@tcs]

I have a very nice L691 in .308 and was wondering if anyone makes barrels to fit?
My dies for the .25-08/.250 Souper have been shipped so I am wondering if anyone in the UK makes sporting weight barrels that I can fit. I'm looking to use this one rifle for three calibres and happy to swap at the bench rather than in the field and not wanting three more rifles on my cert.
Not sure if anyone has a reamer for it but I suspect I'll need to order it made anyway!

As you’ll have 3 more barrels on there anyway, does it make a difference?

250 Souper eh? Cool!

Just the way I fancy it, it’s a good action in an excellent stock

Phoenix barrel in the Uk and Lothar Walther (Germany) make .257 barrels in 10 twist

Either would make you a barrel of suitable profile

You would need a suitable chamber reamer and guages too of course

I’d prefer a one in eight twist if available

I’ve emailed phoenix so I should hear after the weekend hopefully
I’d better price up a receiver wrench and barrel wrench as well!
I think any 308 or 243 gauge would work as they work off the shoulder

A broth of a round!

My latest delivery of dies, looking forward to making a start on brass conversion for the 25-08!
The 280/30 is because I only imported a handful last time and they are on permanent loan!

What twist for the 25 souper? Some interesting ~130 gr projectiles coming out

I'm planning on 1 in 8, my last 7mm was in 1 in 8.25 and seems to be quite good with 150 grain bullets.
