Anything inside of 950 on most any day for me. Past that I get to work at it a little bit. 1300 seems to be the limit for my 6.5's.
If I'm slinging 300 MK's out of my 338 Lapua, 1500 is the farthest I shot it.

Is the wind hard on the knees up there, or are the pads just upping the cool factor?

If i wanted to look cool I'd wear nomex gloves while clearing brush on my brothers property.

So... on average what's the cost of some of the pictured rifles "out the door"? No specifics, just a range as I'm curious.

They have prices on their web site. Most run around $2800-$4000.00. Not including optics, cans,etc.
The more 'stuff' you have done the more $ Travis wants.

Jim the Plumer... WTF do you do and are you hiring!! :chuckle: Whatever it is it looks fun as hell.
MS

still nothing pertinent to add to this thread i see.... :dunno:
-
Fuzzy, do you have a mental handi cap? Please feel free to refer back to your knee pad comment that started the ball rolling. Then take your medication and ask yourself, your " Pertinent" Question? Really????

hmmmmmm... lets see before you posted your stupid first comment i posted this.
it clearly has nothing to do with this thread.....
but then again i dont have nearly as many posts as you so i must be wrong.
-
Your "Skirting" Fuzzy... :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: and what first comment was that Hotrod? Might as well learn how to read while your wearing that skirt. ;)
-
but i did buy some *censored* gloves.....

Nice Nomex worn by many. I know allot of guys that still serve who wear them daily.
-
whoops im sorry i thought the thread title said "How about a has nothing to do RBros rifles thread"
-
Well your little "Knee Pad" remark kind of derailed that, didn't it Fuzz? ;)
-
"fuzzy" With a name like that how can you not get defensive when your feelings are hurt?
:chuckle:
-
I think fuzz is upset that JTP didn't let him wear the knee pads that day....
-
Jim the Plumer... WTF do you do and are you hiring!! :chuckle: Whatever it is it looks fun as hell.

I'm a plumbing contractor. But I've been involved in the 'tactical' shooting sports in the pacific north west for over a decade and I'm the match director for several practical/ tactical type matches.
As such, I've made a few inroads in the gun industry and get phone calls that I wouldn't normally get otherwise.

Ahhh nice! I was hoping it was a border patrol type job though :chuckle: Still looks fun!

Well I think he had his own.
I truly don't think Fuzzy could possably get upset or have his feelings hurt, at all.
He can with out a doubt hold his own with a rifle or pistol and is easily one of the better shots around.
And to stay on topic:
A bear I shot last year with my Rbros 338 Lapua

These rifles shoot! and in fairness to Travis we should keep it on track, regardless of what everyone else THINKS
-
OK Fuzzy's right. Back on track. The 338 Lapua on Badger Mountian breaking rocks at distance.

Man, those are some INCREDIBLE looking rifles.
1 wife and 5 kids on a single income pretty much make me just a spectator when it comes to such nice rifles.
I'm now going back to being jealous.

first kill for the RBros .260

Who needs to become a site sponsor when they've got you guys doing all the advertising? :chuckle:
Nice rifles.

Rbros in the back, Defensive edge in the front. Both .338 edge
-
Love that Defensive Edge! :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup:

They both shoot hand in hand.

They both shoot hand in hand.
Cool to have your rifle build by the GURU(Shawn C.) of the specific chambering(.338 Edge). :tup: How about posting a pic of the brake? Is it his square 4 port? I really like the look of his "Muscle" style square brakes. . 30" bbl?
-
They both have standard DE brakes. The Rbros has an 8 oz Jewell and the bottom metal along with the Seekins bottom and integral rail and lug. A great accuracy enhancing feature!

Not only does RBros build an awesome rifle but Travis is a really good guy to work with and if you've ever had a custom or semi custom rifle built you know how important that is.

Awesome rifles. Checked out their website and like it. Going to get one when business improves. Made in Elma, too- Awesome
