HS50 Stock Re-Design- Updated Pictures on page 2

Rommelrommel - I do not use this rifle for close range shooting, 800 meters or more. The 50BMG bullet drop is quite large the further you go out. Its not quite a high precision rifle like some of the jobs that ATR pump out but if I can get a round to hit a vehicle sized target at 3000m+ I am happy as hell! I guess it was just preference, I needed more adjustment out of my scope.
 
Masic, you are going to have to look in the old mags from short range benchrest, silhouette, and shotgun/trap shooting. Stuff was tried in the 70's.

There were two ideas - super light, super fast triggers which were essentially ON switches - same way a conventional trigger works but with no chance of moving the rifle. Then there were release triggers where the ignition happened when the trigger was released/pressure removed. Again, the idea was to have zero affect on the rifle during the firing process.

Not sure how a release trigger would help trap/shotgun shooters but apparently used there. Maybe it worked?????? cause all this good stuff was quickly banned from competition.

I guess ultimately you could have a switch OFF the rifle ensuring zero contact during the firing sequence. How about wireless????

For me, that takes the fun and frustration out of shooting. Building a rifle that can shoot them into one small hole is not that big a deal anymore. Being able to shoot that, now that is the fun...

Just did some testing at 200yds, first two shots into the same hole. Nice. Third shot pulled low so you compensate (had to be conditions) and of course you shoot way high. Say some really choice words, refocus, don't compensate for anything, drive the 5th shot into the same hole as the first two.

We be having some fun now...

Congrats on your new project rifle. Looks great. Time very well spent.

I can certainly help you with the rings. What is the present distance from the notch in the base (the corner of the pic rail) to the center of the ring (bottom ring flat)?

I am guessing that the bottom ring flat that you have mentioned is basically the flat portion of the bottom ring that the top ring buts up against and not the very bottom of the ring where the scope fits. From the bottom ring flat to the top of the pic rail is 1.48" or from the bottom ring flat to the bottom of the pic notch is 1.60". These measurements are not exact but very close.

Oh, I thought you referred to that as positive MOA like " 60 MOA" ... so I was figuring that " - 60 MOA " would put you around 50 feet low at 1000 yards lol.

Yeah, I used the wrong terminology for the MOA portion of my description only because with my background we deal with +/- all of the time. Just to clarify – The original HS 50 scope base was parallel to the barrel or 0 MOA. I had a one piece dual ring kit made for it with a 30 minute taper towards the barrel within the ring kit. Now I have a scope base with a 30 minute taper towards the barrel and a one piece ring kit with also a 30 minute taper towards the barrel providing me with a total of 60 minutes of taper towards the barrel which is way too much. If I reverse the ring kit I will have O MOA in the whole set up. My eyes are crossed now and my tongue is hanging out. I hope that this makes sense now.
 
Going out this weekend to fire the monster. The center of gravity is 1inch ahead of the trigger with the steel muzzle brake seen in the pictures and 5 inches behind with the original brake. All is tight and went together with ease. I have to add a .250inch cheek pad now that I have lowered the scope as low as I can. I will cut a pic rail into the angled fore stock for a rail type bi pod in the fall some time (I have to catch up with my other machining like the fold able AR type stock tube adapter for the XCR) and have been really itchy to shoot some 50 again.

I will post some pictures or video after this weekend along with some grouping photos.
 
Pictures from the weekend? Still waiting.
:wave:

Also, just curious, what are the Nemisis .50's going for right now? I like my boltguns to be mag-fed, not just single shot, and that rifle tickles my eyes.
