Folding Precision Hunter

[Insite Arms]

we posted these pics in a thead in the same forum but thought we would entertain comments and gauge interest in a project such as this one.

It is a 300 Norma on a 21" barrel in a Manners Folder on a Surgeon 1581 XL action and DBM.

And the weight of the pictured rifle is?

Personally I rather have the vertical height on my pack (ie. Normal rifle stock) vs increased depth of the pack because of a folded stock....but that's just me.


Btw. Nice work coming outta your shop

12lbs as it sits...Fairly light when it comes to a 2000 yard capable unit though
And thanks Bird Blaster for the compliment...appreciate it

I am not a fan of folding stocks but I can understand why others would want one. It looks like you built a nice rig. It's too bad that the folding part doesn't come around to the bolt handle side. I think for packing it would be nice if the stock and bolt were on the same side so that it doesn't dig into your back.

If one never folds it you would never know it even was a folder...they lock up like a bank vault dude but so handy to have it smaller when ya need it to. I would never want a folder on a cheaper style stock cause they are crappy and very lose. These are every bit as solid as a none folder. Handle one when ya can and see what ya think

Very cool.

Wow! I wouldn't mind a folder that weighs less than my Coyote.

Especially one that is able to stretch out to 2000 yards ��

Interesting. The chambering, the stock, the barrel length. Very interesting, indeed. With the shorter case as compared to the .300WM, it might feed 220gr (or heavier) rounds from the magazine without eating up case capacity. I'm seriously considering this for a precision rig.

 

[furtaker]

actually it will run a 240 smk from a mag without issue

Not sure why the need for a folding stock on an antelope rifle? gotta love Manners stocks!

Bump for coolness. PM sent regarding the Manners folder.

I have a Cadex Lite rifle. I will never fold the stock.

However I am just a target shooter. Hunters may be different...

I'm not a fan on the folder. But you guys kick out some cool rifles.
I was at the range with a guy who was just livid about testing out one of your rifles.
He was all mad and stuff because the group he was getting at 300 yards was waaaaaay smaller with random reload (cant recall the name of book he pulled it from) than any of his other rifles that he spends hours reloading for.
But you quality isnt cheap!
