Gday everyone
I've finally had built from scratch a repeater varmint rifle
I bought all the components new and had lrp solutions put it together
McMillan a5
Kelby stolle black bear action
Shilen comp trigger set a 6 ounces
Benchmark barrel
Lamely arms bottom metal and Ai magazine with 6 Br kit in it
Chambered in 6 dasher
I'll give it a run at 300 metres in the morning real early before the wind gets up


Matt has done a beautiful job again

Very business-like.

You now have the photo, but have you written the 'for sale' ad for used guns/buyusedguns yet? :lol: :lol: :lol:

What, no FFP scope, level or Atlas bipod? And no brake? Mein Gott!!!
Nice rig mate.
What twist rate and bullet weights are you looking to run?

Cheers fellas
Tony it's an 8 twist 26 inches long
I reckon I'll run 95 Sierra tmk if they kill well ,the 77 tmk is an incredible bullet for expansion and killing even the old crow turn to feathers and as good as any other 22 cal pill on pigs or 87 vmax or or or or :D

It does look good. Looking forward to the field testing.
Hope those fires stay away from you.
About to head off south and try some of those 77TMK's out.
Cheers

Can you wait till I’m rich before you sell this one.
I don’t think I’ll have enough time to save.

I like your taste in rifles

Nice gun Mark!

I like the McMillan A5 too!

The 6 Dasher is really a no brain and just works!

Great job mate!

Glenn

I shot it today at 311 yds
Shot two solid nice round 1 inch 5 shot groups with Berger 95 grain classic hunters at 3150

It actually shot the 75 vmax and 70 grain nosler varmeggedon into 1.5 inches at that range but the short bullets don't feed as well as they come up the ramp
Still acceptable but not like the 90-105 grainers , they feed 99 percent of the time without the slightest problem
