He was telling me about a new custom long range rifle he is putting into production.
The thing is sweet! The bolt is back in the stock so the overall length of the rifle is much shorter.
Check this thing out! This one is left handed, so that's why it looks backwards.
Shawn is a wealth of information on rifles and long range shooting and makes some AWESOME rifles. I am watching his DVD "Send It 2" right now and I cant believe the shots they are making!

Nice! There are sooo may new long range rifle builders these days, that a guy tends to lose track!
Aint that the truth!
I have been talking to a lot of guys about some of these rifles and Shawns knowledge on the topic blew my mind.. :o

I have always wanted a .338 edge built by Carlock. The sub 1/2 moa out of his guns is way better than I could shoot them. Yeah, some of the shots I have seen him make on longrangehunting were impressive to say the least.
Me too, Me too... I thought one of his "Canyon" rifles would be the way to go, but this new thing is sweet!

He makes some of the best guns out there as far as I am concerned. I have really been looking into his 338 edge. I was up tell about 3 a.m this morning searching and reading on it. Hard to drop 3k+ on a rifle, but his rifles are worth the money. Did he say what the new one is going to be selling for Matt? The rifle I want is about 3,800.00 from him :o :chuckle:
I think this new one is closer for the 6K mark :o
Yeah, he has some killer rifles.. Ive been reading about his Canyon Rifle and its supposed to shoot out of this world.
I have been reading up on Shawn some today. He is like the Dalai Lama of Long range rifles. :o

How light can one of these types of guns be made? I'd rather give up some distance that haul 14 pounds over hill and dale.
Im not sure about that exact model,
But Shawn makes some Sheep hunting rifles that are VERY light and still can shoot a heck of a long ways

Link your scope to the satellite....download the GPS and National Weather Service data....fire.....go get animal. :chuckle:
I had a buddy bring a 30+lb .50 BMG cougar hunting this year....after the first river crossing and mountain climb in the Queets rainforest he was cursing his choice of rifle. But as the weight drops, the recoil will increase. And it appears they are firing some cartridges that pack a bang, so they've probably found a tolerable weight for both packing and recoil.

they make a shoulder pad that looks lightweight, but Im not a big fan of hard recoil either, just bought a 300 win mag only put 15 rounds through it and had to send it back to remington but I started feeling it after a 5 shot groupya I would rather take the recoil then carry the weight, get a recoil reducer but pad for the rifle

Shoot, 5 shots out of a .17 HMR and I feel it ;)
