Here are some results from a trip to the range yesterday with my Prairie Gun Works Timberwolf 338LP I was shooting at 300m. I am just a beginner
so I need lots of practice I do see an improvement every trip so that makes me :D I really :adult: my TW I :jerkit: just thinking about it.
 
A group is a group, buddy, you can't discount the flyers! I've had plenty of 5-6 shot groups 9in fact all of them) where one or two don't stay in, but they count just as much!

That having been said, 1.6" @ 300m is excellent for a factory rifle.
 
yeah redman I realize the flyers count as part of the group. I was more pointing out my lack of skill and experience to keep the grouping tight the last two shots fell apart on me it definitely was me and not the rifle or loads although I had a four rounds with different powder loads mixed in by accident. But like I said it was more then likely my inconsistency I am shooting off a harris bipod do bench rest sand bags help allot?

Absolutely, keep one under the rear of the stock, just in front of the hook under the stock. My rifle has a similar setup, stock-wise, and I made my best groups this way although my bipod has removable rubber feet (it's a Parker Hale). Having rubber feet runs the risk of causing too much muzzle jump from my experience, so be sure to lean well into the bipod. This way, when the rifle recoils, you go straight back, only releasing the tension due to you leaning forward, as opposed to the feet dragging and jumping.

Other people here will no doubt chime in with additional advice.

I would hardly call a PGW Timberwolf a factory rifle.

Why not? Doesn't everyone get the same action with the same stock type, same barrel with the same twist rate, etc, etc, etc... when you call up Prairie Gun Works and order a "Timberwolf"?

Actually No. When you order a rifle you can get it in any configuration you like.

OK, what kind of different configurations of the Timberwolf are there except for the optional stuff like paint job, NV mount and the like?

Again, as I said in the post you just quoted, in the context of the Timberwolf only.
 
Barrel length
Barrel contour
Barrel fluted or not
Barrel twist
Calibre
Single shot/repeater
Stock configuration...

You can get a Timberwolf or Coyote in almost any configuration.
I recently ordered a Coyote in 7wsm(which has a different boltface than the .308 win) with a 24"bbl, 1-9 twist, two mags... and Ross was more than happy to build it to whichever specs I wanted so yes even though they have standard configurations as per their military contracts, you can order their rifles however you like.
I'm not sure how many barrel makers they deal with or if they deal with Robertson or Manners for stocks or if they will build a rifle on an action that isn't their own but they do still build custom rifles.
Maybe if someone from PGW reads this they will chime in and let us know.

I ordered they're SS M15 action only for a bench gun build. Corlane put a 6.5 Gaillard barrel on it and it has shot 5 rds. into under 4" on occasion. Fairly consistant 6" 5rd. groups at 1000yds. I would consider PGW a custom job for sure.
 
Absolutley no doubt about it not being "factory". It's not like they're mass producing these things. Many options, many configurations. How about folding stock on a T-Wolf, definitley not off the shelf. Top quality, and great shooters, great customer support.
