Guys,

My new heavy gun, or almost new. Same barrelled action, new alloy stock. All up weighs around 34lbs. Shoots a 135gr SMK at 3100 fps, and yes, it's still a 270 Win. Stock is 25mm plate alloy, powder coated, running on 19mm stainless rails, forend is 6.5" wide.
The barrel block is bolted to the top plate, the barrel will be glued into the barrel block, which is already o ring fitted.

This new stock should get rid of the flex issues I was having, and allow Tony Z and I to continue developing the alternate sighting method.

Jeff

looks good jeff but is it going to be able to shoot sub 4" groups at 1000yds to keep up with tonyz's little 6br.when do we get to see it out at the range

Hi jeff,
Can't wait to see some range reports.
You'll make me believe in the 270 again.
cheers,
Macca

Good news bloke, The scurge of the 270 w H/G rides again ..JR..Jeff Rogers

There is two things missing Jeff. A 30 cal barrel and a drop port .

Coming together very nicely and until seen in the flesh it is hard to appreciate just how well this gun behaves on the rests. It is also good to have another view point from some-one relatively new to the game as this all alloy stock concept is entirely Jeff's idea. From having only one HG competing in the last 12 months or so to having 5 purpose built is going to make it competitive for sure. So it looks like i picked the right time to cross over to LG.

alternate sighting method.

Whats wrong with the set-up you have at the moment Jeff &
what kind of groups were you getting befor the stock change ?

I am guessing that this alternate sighting method involves the use of a peep sight and aiming mark out to 50 yards or so?

Regards

Sean

No. two scopes and an aim post at 50 yards. Jeff will revert back to this method with the new stock.

O K guys does it shoot ? where are the photos of the testing when is the next 500 m and 1000 yd shoot in townsville so i can come up and see for my self before i start to machine up a heavy gun stock john mc

Hi John

The next 550yd match is the first saturday of June and the next 1000yd is not till July 25 and is the postal with Virginia along with the 550yd match on the first saturday of July.

Guys,

Shot the beast on Saturday morning, looking at new loads. A couple show promise, one in particular as it prints a bit higher on the paper than the old standard, and measured .289.
The gun tracks really well and return to battery is very consistant, so will work towards shooting the next 550 with the new load.

Jeff
