A few guys have been thinking and chatting with me about LR cannons.

Here is a pic of 1000yd/m unlimited monster. 32" long, 1.400" diameter no taper, barrel block, 10" BAT action in an Alum stock. Weighs in at a feathery 55lbs. Presently in a 338 Lapua Improved wildcat with goals to go either 338-416 Rigby or CheyTac.

Will be ballasted to approx 70lbs. Cause you just can't have too much gun...or rifle rest!

LRC, look at the recoil pad on that thing - yep, metal. You better believe at 55 to 70lbs, the rifle can do whatever it wants. I doubt recoil is much of anything despite launching a very big hunk of bullet.

With that rest, where could the rifle go anyways...High Tech BR. Bring ChaChing.

Now to see if there are any rail gun pics around.

If you get a chance, go to Sinclair Intl and look at their F class bipod. Now that is a bipod...

You might want to elaborate on that nice little orange disk you have in your avatar...Good shooting.

That nice little orange disk is a cover from an old style wood stove used up here in the great white north to cook on and heat old homes and Cabins and can be found in various locations. They are cast Iron and make great targets when painted orange. They are light in weight and easy to carry in a pack. They are the type that use a specialy designed handle to remove from the stove top when they are hot. Your Grandparents could probably elaborate more on them. Any more info will just have to waite till the next Summerland Shoot;) :D :D :p :p :p
 
Competition groups are running in the 5" to 7" 5 shot at 1000yds. Of course, if the winds are lousy so are the groups.

However, most rigs will shoot around 1/4MOA at that distance.

Very impressive given the distance.

LRC, great shooting at 1500m!!!!

Very interesting video. That first rifle must have been shooting a pretty big cartridge. Had a muzzle brake and still came back hard...too much for me and a comp rig.

The second one is like shooting my 300RUM. Comfy

I think folks that shoot like that should take that extra step and just make bench firing devices that would test the barrel and ammo. And would be cool to be able to take your gun into a place like this and tune a round to your barrel.:D
 
Yep, that is some serious tech and machining. Almost a rail rifle...almost.

I am building a stock for a 16.5lbs 6.5 Mystic rifle. Hope to have it roughed out in the next week or two. This class definitely taxes your choices as weight comes up pretty fast.

The big part is getting all the surfaces lined up WITHOUT a milling machine.

Oh well, not planning on going to the Nats.

Can't wait to start making noise and seeing how it groups.

Jerry you need to put some more pics of you BR stuff on your web site. I know it's probably more fun building and shooting than it is posting pics. But that way those of us without funds can live vicariously though you :)

Nic, I would love to but I know zip about websites. If someone can give me the basics, I would love to update my site.

The site as it stands was generously created by a CGN member in exchange for work tuning up his M305. I certainly got alot of work for this exchange.

I know rifles but precious little about computers. Any help would be appreciated.

By the way, shooting accurately out a very long ways doesn't require a second mortgage. Sure, if you want to compete at the highest levels and win, that is going to be expensive.

However, there are no shortage of excellent production rifles that can be easily tuned to shoot 1/2 to 3/4 MOA. With appropriate loads and scopes, you can plink away to your hearts content out to 1000m and beyond.

Just make your targets bigger. Doping wind at distance is still the main challenge. So what if you 'only' shoot MOA or even 2 MOA at 500yds or further. That is hitting a milk jug at 5 football fields as many times as you can dope the conditions.

The difference between a good and great rifle is no more then 1/2MOA (let's say 2.5" at 500yds). The inability to dope condition can move you a foot or two at that same distance.

Where should you spend your money????

NO matter what rifle you own now, just point it further out and play. I bet you quickly find distance isn't as big a deal as you first thought and your 'whatever' rifle actually does pretty good.
