ATRS Modern hunter specs, pics and range reports

[alberta tactical rifle]

Are the ATRS magazines come with the rifle 5 or 10 rounds?

We are having both 5 round and 10 round mags made. When ordering a Hunter you can specify your preference.

Anyone ever considered a brass catcher for the MH??

-J.

I'm using a 3-bucc rail mount on mine. It works very well, my rifle doesn't leave home without it now. Definite time/hassle saver when it comes to finding my fireformed brass.

Where does a guy buy IMI mags?

Atrs brought them in for the MH, but the specs are all over and only the odd one happens to fit.

 

[onetwentyish]

Oh.... that sucks.

I know not to ask about MagPul's.... what else works??

Pardon my ignorance, I don't know a lot about AR stuff.

At this time:
G2 Pmags
ASC XCR-M Pistol mags
ASC XCR-M mags
The odd IMI mag

Coming soon: ATRS XCR-M mag and ATRS XCR-M Pistol mag

Just ordered a Modern Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor. Going to put a S&B 3-20x50 on it.

Awesome! I am one of the few who have one in 6.5 Creedmoor as well. I posted my hand-load data within this thread if you are interested.... gets me to .3 - .5MOA, but only *IF* I am doing my part.

My thoughts are killing power.... But I know the .260 and 6.5 buck the wind better..... And I have a $hit Tonne of 6.5 bullets for my 6.5 Lapua....

I want my MH to be first off a solid hunting/bush gun, and second a target/varmint gun.

I'm really torn on the Proof CFW barrel vs the match too....

usually for hunting you want as light as possible, when I looked into the MH there was no weight savings with the CFW barrel vs the light profile. It was around $4500 before taxes to get an 8lb rifle which I still regard as too heavy a starting point for my needs.

I will keep looking for my unicorn or someone to build one.

I also just ordered one but went with 243 I wanted a coyote gun but still have something that was legal to hunt big game.I ordered a few custom guns over the years so am used to waiting.

Rick I just wanted to thank you for your excellent fix on my modern hunter charging handle with the earth magnet. Will my modern varminter have the same?

Going forward ALL of the Hunters and Varmint will have this feature. We still have a number of the original Hunters to get this done to as well so hopefully folks with these will start to contact us about the upgrade.

 

[alberta tactical rifle]

Do we need to ship the whole rifle?

Definitely NOT!! Just the charge handle which is held on with 2 screws is all we need to do the upgrade.

 

[alberta tactical rifle]

Is there a time limit to get our charge handles shipped down?

No. Whenever it works for you is fine.

 

[alberta tactical rifle]

Rick, when I come to pick-up my M.V. rifle, can you do the upgrade to my M.H. if I bring it to you? (The handle, that is.)

Certainly we can.

I got sum time off work so going home to do a bit of deer hunting on Haida Gwaii just 4 or 5 days but better then nothing
my MH is heavy i mean 13.5 lb heavy going to have a lighter 6.5 CM later on but for now I will live with it and shoot off shooting sticks

how is the the hand guard mine is to noisy and I need to replace it along with a lighter barrel to get it into a workable hunting rifle

 

[6MT]

...

 

[carverk]

What do you mean by "the handguard is too noisy"?

The aluminum handgard is realy noisy

 

[alberta tactical rifle]

The aluminum handgard is realy noisy

The Carbon Fiber PRI handguards are dead quiet, just spendy.

If you have the DPMS or JP handguard and want it to be less noisy wrap it in McNett camo tape or Dr. Sholls moleskin. Sounds goofy I know but it works and is cheap.

I was thinking about using tape for now till I can get Corbin fiber handgard .
hunting with this type of rifle is new to me
