The Official Precision Bolt Gun Picture Thread

[haoleboy]

Nice rifle, but if you are serious about it being a precision bolt gun you may want to think about removing the front sight and putting lower scope rings on it.

How do Darkeagles compare to Sharpshooter Supplies mags?

Well, aside from looking identical, the Darkeagle holds 10 rounds and the Sharpshooter 9 rounds. The Darkeagle has a coil spring and the Sharpshooter a leaf spring. And the Darkeagle costs $95 whereas the Sharpshooter costs $90.

This is all informational, I have not personally seen one of the Sharpshooter mags.

Even though the stock on mine isnt the prettiest its got aluminum bedding so unless I find a killer deal somewhere I prob wont switch for a while even though I like the tacticool stocks. The aluminum bedding is too big of a positive.

The aluminum V-block bedding and Savages tend to go real well together.


*It's easy to get past the look of the stock when the rifle shoots so well in it.

So I just joined the LR club in the civvie sector (Shot the M40A5 a bit, but mostly used the M14 DMR as a DM).

I picked up a R700 Tactical SPS in .308. Ideally I want to put a McMillan A5 stock on it with the DBM set up. at the moment I've got a PA 4-14x44 FFP Mildot scope w/ resettable turrets on her (mostly for hunting under 4-500 yds) and well Mildot cause thats what I know. I've got a Harris 9-13 notched bipod, 0MOA Base and mid-rise rings. I eventually want to shoot some of these long distance ranges ya'll are talking about,

Once I get home I'll get a pic up for ya'll to see my before model.

 

[armed ferret]

A5/DBM is a happy combo.


Mags aren't cheap though.

My humble yet effective submission.

Savage Hog Hunter in .308 wearing a Choate Stock, EGW 20 MOA base, and a Bushnell Elite 3200 10X scope.

How's it treating you stu??

 

[stu929]

So far great unfortunately while I was loading a new batch of ammo I noticed my dies had a gouge in them that was tearing up my brass. Took me a week to get RCBS hoping they fix them quickly.

 

[BradMacc82]

RCBS should have you up and running in short order.

Originally a 700 SPS Varmint in .308, was in a B&C stock with a Millett TRS-1 but then I got a Nightforce ATACR and could not get eye relief and B&C does not offer LOP extenders that would get it even close so........

Add a Manners T-6A to get the LOP to 15 inches. Other greeblies are Valdata 20 MOA rail, Atlas bipod, Tac-Ops bolt knob and Badger M5 bottom metal. I may add another 1/2 inch spacer to the stock.

Sticky type bull used to zero then shoot a 25 shot group with handloads. The two edge shots (you can see the cuts), three shots upper right and three under the quarter are Hornady Steelmatch used to get initial zero. Got bored with groups and started just shooting pasters. 100 yards.

Again, go back and READ HIS POST.

It's not an adjustable gas block. Do they teach reading in Maryland?

I've been meaning to post this gun up for a while, but never got around to taking the pictures until last night... when I took the pictures for a person who may be taking it off my hands in a trade. Glass is an older Bushnell Elite Tactical 6-24x50... which has really grown on me. The mil dots are calibrated at 12x, but you can still use them at 6x and 24x by halving or doubling the reading in your head. It's a nice setup for a beginner like me since not much needed to be changed from the factory to make real accurate gun.

 

[ThawMyTongue]

Here's my humble contribution:



Savage 10 P-SR 5R
Darkeagle Custom 10 round mag
Darkeagle Custom extended mag release
Black River Tactical Covert linear compensator
EGW 0MOA rail
Caldwell Pivot bipod

Due to some financial uncertainty (wife losing her job) I am holding off buying the glass I want and just slapped on a Vortex Crossfire II 4-12 and cheap Vortex rings I had for another project.

I am very impressed with the Darkeagle products. The magazine functions beautifully and was well worth the wait and the mag release works great. Not to mention Dan is a great guy with which to deal.

Finally got this baby to Hap Baker this morning. Being new to bolt actions, it took me a bit to get a feel for her. Once we got the pleasantries out of the way and I got it sighted in I think I fell in love! I concentrated on breathing and a steady trigger pull and I shot MUCH better than I had anticipated. I used Prvi Partizan to start and sight in and switched to Atomic 175gr to see what I could do. Once I was comfortable, I managed this group:



I'll take a .6" group on my first outing! I think I have a problem... I enjoyed slow, calculated, accurate shooting much more than shooting my semi-auto rifles. Hardly even warmed up the AR today.

Oh, and the Darkeagle mag functioned flawlessly. The whole rifle/setup was great (to me, at least). My only gripe is the very least little creep in the trigger... Maybe 1/16" before the break. Once I got a feel for it, I could adjust for it.

Shot this 3 round group yesterday at the Indian River County Public Shooting Range in Sebastian, FL. 100 yards, no wind, same hole. 168 grain FGMM. Best group I've ever shot... Ever.

I need to bring it up a minute, but I'm very excited about how this new rifle/stock combo is performing.
