Wow Mike things are looking very good. Anxious to see the finished product as I am sure you are two.

Definitely glad I went with the blue stock! Glad the tumblers came in. I know how frustrating it can be waiting on tools.

I got them all prepped, hung & 1st coat applied this morning...I am packing slug orders, shipping them then going back this evening to apply a 2nd coat.

Only 1 customer wanted to finish his own stock...you can *really* see the difference in how the finish brings the colors to life!

OHH they are some nice lookers so far! I'm so bummed at myself for not getting in on one of these!

Looking good. Thank you for the updates.

Very nice looking stocks. Did you do any in a satin finish?

CarsonRatSniper · « **Reply #569 on:** April 07, 2015, 06:51:12 PM »

Yep Larry, that ones yours!

Only 2 wanted Satin...one is A.O. Martinez (Pepper) and the other is the 2nd Camo stock (straight cut forearm) going to The Netherlands.

Satin for me ... my Millennium Pumper is gonna be dedicated to the role of urban pest control.
As such, no flash, no bling, everything subdued and quiet.

All exterior aluminum parts will be anodized black...if somebody wants sealed clear aluminum I can do that but they'll have to pay for the lot charge from the anodizing company.

I took my blue stock outside and took a pic in the sunlight to show off the colors...I also put the cf shroud next to it so you can get an idea of how the shrouded versions will look next to the stock.

I'm finishing stocks today & tomorrow morning...I'll update pics of them when they're completed.

I'm shooting in a 1000 yard match Sat April 18...if I can pull it off the prizes are brand new Nightforce scopes! That'd sure look good on my Millennium!

Mike, what gun are you using in the 1000 yd match?

CarsonRatSniper · « **Reply #573 on:** April 08, 2015, 05:48:05 PM »

My USMC M40A3 with a US Optics SN-3 scope

Okay. I did not think it was an airgun

Good luck!!

LOL
When I can get an air rifle to shoot a 175 grain Sierra Match King @ 2765 fps *then* I'll use an air rifle!!!

What size 5 shot groups at 1000 yds or are you shooting 3 shot groups? I shot 5 inside 8" at 1000 at the West Point range about 25 years ago on a $100 bet and never told the guy I bet that I pulled it out of my keister Ruger M77 heavy barrel 7mm Remington Magnum . and I doubt I could have done it a second time but the planets aligned on that Saturday.

Its not your standard match...it has to be an Idaho legal hunting rifle (max weight of 16 lbs with all accessories, unloaded).
There's a Small Game & Big Game course of fire - 24 targets at marked yardages on each course of fire. You get 2 shots at each target (unless.you score a first round hit)
The Small Game course of fire goes out to 600 yards and I believe has a .308 Win caliber maximum.
The Big Game course of fire goes out to 1200 yards...there's going to be a whole fleet of 6.5x284's out there.
If I just make a showing with my wee little .308 Win I'll be a happy camper.

There's also a 1 mile shoot (1760 yards) - $5 for 3 shots.
That'll be.fun! Corialis, Spin drift & even what cardinal direction you're facing.
My bullets flight time at that distance is 4.62 seconds!!! That's a whole bunch of earth rotation in that time frame.

All of the targets are steel plates - you just need a hit not a measured group so it keeps it *fun* LOL

No mechanical rests - you have to use whatever you'd have hunting...bipod, shooting sticks or use your backpack as a rest (which is what I'll do).
My M40A3 weighs 15lbs 14oz without the bipod and makes weight by 2oz.

It shoots 1/8 MOA...much better than I can hold. The first group ever shot out if the rifle was by Sean Carlock of Defensive Edge Technologies (he built the rifle off of the Quantico plans) was with factory Fed Gold Match 175 SMK's and a 3 shot group @ 300 meters measured 3/8"

Hopefully my $7000 deployment package will win me a new Nightforce scope!

My handloads have an extreme spread of 1.8 fps and a MV of 2765 fps with 175 SMK's out of my 27" barrel.

I know.guys, this is *off topic* but let's face it - our air guns are how we can train inexpensively!
Most of my air guns replicate one of my powder burners just for training purposes.

Training = Sight picture, Breathing, Stance, Grip, Trigger Press & Follow Through.
I don't care if you shoot a rubber band gun - the principles are still the same.

Be interesting to scale that match down to airgunable ranges.

176 yards ought to be doable in the flight time the 308 takes for a mile .

Sfttailrdr46 · « **Reply #579 on:** April 09, 2015, 09:31:24 AM »

I like it I had a very customized M1A1 Garrand 30-06 that I competed with at a few matches back in the 70's but not in the same league with your .308 I had about $1,800 invested in it and shot with open sights in competition. My one buddy in the USAR set it up for me Sold it 2 years ago for $3,000 and the guy that bought it was doing a happy dance the first time he shot the rifle. My AG's allow me to shoot year round and cheaper ammo
