The top 4 shots measure 5" wide x 1" tall, I adjusted let the barrel cool and shot the last 2 rounds centered up and they measure 3" apart. Not to bad from a 10.5lb hunting rifle.

5" of horizontal is great at that range, 1" of vertical is down right impressive!
That's why I don't shoot actual groups that far away. I'm fond of saying that I can "hit" stuff way out there, just not consistently. :chuckle:

Travis, you're sandbagging. That's typical of your shooting and rifle building skills. I've seen you and Jesse do that consistently.
So pardon me if I sit here and yawn.. :-)
I've seen you, your daughter and Rbros shoot in Kettle Falls. Yes, yawn and enjoy the show.....NOT !!!!

You know Jim, it's better to be humble and be able to shoot, then brag and not be able to shoot! Forums have enough of those type already :chuckle:

It's a new 7mm project I have been working on.what kind of velocities are you getting and spreads? Thanks
Post by: rbros on February 21, 2015, 10:21:44 PM

3100-3150 depending on barrel length with the 180's. ES on the 5 test rifles has been 3-5 fps. Very consistent so far.

After reading this post, I was inspired to take my Rbros 6.5x47 Lapua and check my 600 yard dope. Missed the wind by ~a tenth but 3/8" c-c for a cold bore and 2nd shot of the day. Typical of my Rbros rifles.:yeah:all day long!

Travis what 7 variation are you shooting a 180 at 3150?
My guess is 7 WSM+P....

How much are you selling this rifle for?
Post by: mountainman on February 26, 2015, 09:37:31 AM
Always looking for a better mouse trap. The others work fine, have been successful and I build a lot of them, just had some more ideas. This one came about to fill a specific need I had.:tup:
Post by: rbros on February 26, 2015, 10:57:24 AM
Travis,
How much are you selling this rifle for?
This one definitely isn't for sale. Its my personal hunting rifle. The other 5 test rifles have shown virtually identical results in both velocity, accuracy and forgiveness.
Sorry, no case specs. To many people try to copy things out there and call it their own. Like I mentioned, this was designed for myself and a couple others to fill a specific requirement we needed. The results were a little unexpected was all on how it turned out.
