It is important here to say a huge thank you to Gary from Wantstalls for the super service, that rifle i was waiting for almost one year... The rifle is a heavy one, what strike me the most ist the flawless finition, you can see the craftmanship, the bolt is very smooth it can be operate with one finger, the trigger is set at 24 onces, it goes from 6 to 64 ounces, everything is a thight fit, the back pack is of great quality being extra padded, the magazine just clip in very easy and the bipod permit to put the rifle in every positions possible, for the mean time a Sightron will top it as you will notice in the picture, i did put 3 rings, kind feel like a natural, i will shoot it as soon as possible and make a review with different ammo...

bad ass, cant wait for a range report

 

[countyboy]

Looking good! I am looking forward to the range report!

Have you taken the barrel off yet? How do you like the barrel removal process?

 

[caramel]

Yes i did, it is very easy and no mistake is possible, it just thight fit in the locking sound is solid and you just turn until it ratchet two finger thight, you have a hole on each side and you can see is perfectly go it is completly stupid proof... JP.

Pretty unique looking rifle, nice !! But Sightron??? Wouldn't one of your S&B's look better on there?

(and put some pants on the next time you take gun pics)........

 

[caramel]

The S&B 5X25X56 P4 will go on you can be sure but actually it is at my Ontario house, could not take pictures without a scope, the next set of pictures it will be there... JP.

It's hard to appreciate in front of a pink wall!....lol

 

[KDX]

That looks like a Hitachi TV and stand that I had.

 

[caramel]

Close enough, it is a Toshiba 36 inch tube, old but very reliable... JP.

 

[arcstarter]

Looks awesome, I can't wait for a range report. some videos of it would be cool as well.

 

[dead meat]

Geez pink walls and bare legs, don`t you guys look at the guns. What caramel does inside his house should stay there.

Nemesis bolt and mags operation... Video added...

Here some more discovery i made on the rifle, the mags are an easy 6 rounds, pushing harder 7 could fit but... Mags are 2.850 max round lenght but the lands mesure with my Stoney Point give me 2.886, so if i go the 208 Amax way they will have to be loaded single but will see what kind of performance at 2.850 the 208 will give... Few more pics... J

[/IMG] Now i did add this video to show the bolt function, this rifle i am not use to and it show but the bolt and the magazines dont need much force to be operate... JP.[URL=http://s1081.photobucket.com/albums/j349/caramel57/?action=view&current=chargeurs002.mp4][/URL]

 

[caramel]

Hopefully everything will be watchable... JP.

 

[arcstarter]

That bolt moves pretty nice, seems like the first round hangs up a little but the rest of the rounds feed smooth

 

[caramel]

I guess a few hundreds rounds will smooth that first round... JP.

Now that i have manipulated the rifle, the few worry i had are dissipated, this is a tank... next week i will speak with Gary for him to order an extra barrel and brake in a different caliber... 338 F was my first choice but 260 caught my attention since i already reload for 2 other 6.5.... but one i did not think of a lot and it would be the choice is the 243, with the Hornady v-max 58 gr this could be a party groundhogs rifle, will think it over, i intend to get at least 3 or 4 barrels so it will really be a multi-caliber rig, it is great when the only thing you need to change the dynamics is only a barrel and a brake, the order of ordering may vary... JP.
