New tubegun, Another GrensVegter Original :)

[HeadDamage]

GrensVegter just sent me this photo of my Rem700. This will be it's third incarnation and it keeps getting better thanks to his great work!

Still 308win and will keep using the AIA 10rd mags like it did in it's mk2 form but the barrel is now a 27" stainless Bartlein 5R and the tube gun chassis is all custom GrensVegter work. The butt stock is on for fitting but will be changing to a Magpul PRS stock once the machining is finished.

She is a shooter like the one before it:

I recall a post from a few years ago, in which someone had customized a garand and was able to legally circumvent the semi mag capacity issue.

Was this the same guy?

You gun looks beau coup cool!!!

 

[CanAm]

Do you remove the stock to installed the bolt?

You can't polish a turd.

Now why you gotta be like that?Ill put my money on his tube gun over any .308 you own.Come out to the sniper match a watch his turd out shoot you.

I'm with Longshot on this one. Anyone wants to outshoot a 308win turd tube gun against this fellow in precision has their hands full. See y'all at the NSCC.

sniper match? Is this an actual sniper match or just another position competition?

I'll admit that I'm not a rem 700 fan and this one was a bit of a pig to start with but once it was worked over by GrensVegter the first time I took a liking to it. I'm sure that I will like it even more this time round The only problem that I'm going to have at the shoot is that I haven't had much trigger time this year.

And yes, the rifle does need to be taken apart to take the bolt out but that is not a big issue, on the plus side it makes it even safer than a stock rifle, no way is any gas getting in my face this time

Very unique! real nice!

 

[Longshot]

The test targets you guys shot at Rosebud last year were excellent to say the least...not to mention the Fig.14 that had 8 shots out of 10 in the bull from 600m!I'm thinking those 6.5 barrels we have coming in would make for a great 6.5x55 tube gun.

Outshoot me or my gun?

Tagged for interest. Very nice looking build, I'm looking forward to the final pics.

How much does a rifle like that cost? Sure looks unique

 

[GrensVegter]

More pics will follow soon, as for the cost unless you like making stuff and have access to the proper tools, it would be better to buy a tube gun kit like the MAC tubegun . This is a lot of work (100's of hours)

[rooster33]

are the actions glued in? nice

 

[Longshot]

Yes they are.The barrel on the first one was a bit of a mystery and no one seemed to know where it came from.The barrel on the Mk 2 is a Bartlein and I bet it shoots like a laser.

nice
