I shot the rifle today to get some basic elevations and wangade data for my new sights. Fired about 15 rounds. SHot very well.

The first official outing in competition will be the long-range championships in two weeks time. The next obviously will be the Queens at the end of September.

Woody
Can you post some pics of the bolt in the action - am interested to see how the short-throw bolt matches up with the cheekpiece when extended etc.
Thanks

Hello mate,

Have a look at these:

The first pic shows how much shorter the bolt throw is from the Millenium unit which the stock was made to fit. The cutout in the cheekpiece is what to look at - about 25mm difference in use.

The pic also shows the loading port and where the boltface stops at rearmost travel. The port has been made a bit long - this is a prototype, so is no real drama. The production units have a shorter opening - still long enough to eject a 338 Lapua Magnum case (without the bullet though).

Yes, I will be building a 338 LMag at some stage for the bragging rights :)

The rifle was shot this weekend. Score was very ordinary, but that will improve with some practice and getting used to the new stock.

Looks good! I'm sure a bit of settling-in will help.
Re ejection port size: needs to eject a loaded 308 round as well - a bit longer than a 338 LM case.

Aubrey,

Yes, typically, the port is a bit more than 2.80" - the usual length of a full 308 cartridge. I had issue with my Paramount at times, as my rounds were a lot longer than that.

The bolt can be removed from the action without moving the cheekpiece, which is a great thing, as I sometimes forget to raise it or move to the proper position. A round will stay on the end of the bolt when removing it as there is no ejector.

Aubrey,

The Bolt travel is 85mm, as is normally the loading port leght. The normal CIP/SAAMI lenght for a .308 round is 72mm.
The .338 Lapua Magnum case is 69,2mm long, and the total cartridge lenght 96,6mm.
The .338 Lapua Magnum case can be easily removed, but the complete round not, and need to be fed 'nose'in'. Eventual removal of a loaded round is easy, as full removal of the bolt is a one-hand operation and, as Woody states, not imterfering with the Cheekpiece settings.
The Winchester Short Magnums are no problem at all. They are much shorter, as their name indicates....
The cone breech allow easy feeding of the smallest.223 and 6BR to the lrgest with no problem.
On the proto Woody is using, the loading port was cut 10mm longer than on the drawing, but this is only esthetical influence, not functional.

I can pass you o, pm demand a complete CIP dimensions list and drawings. Weights 1,5 Mo

I must say it is handy having an expert in the field providing input - even though RC calls himself an amateur.

Woody and the Inch

#43 Postby littlebang556 » Mon Oct 13, 2008 8:32 pm

By now I suspect Woody is bunked down beside his new lathe to enable early starts on machining many Inch actions. Would explain why he has been so quiet of late...now there's a 1st.

Seriously though Woody, how many inches have you played with.

Looking forward to seeing a few of them around the traps.

Cheers

Rob,

He is effectively very busy...I could reply, but prefer to let him tell the good news....

Have a minor issue with our CNC lathe, but will soon resolve this. Hope to be making actions in the next few weeks.
