I did something similar. Took a $335 Savage Model 12 in 6.5 Creedmoor. Put it in an Oryx chassis. Had a gunsmith chamber a heavy (1.25”) 26” Shilen select match barrel and blueprint the action. Put in a 1 lb RifleBasix trigger and longer bolt handle. Added your BR EC Tuner Brake. I’ve got less than $2,000 in the gun (not counting a $900 Sightron scope). With my handloads (you’ve helped me there), I can shoot .3 MOA (5 shot) groups at 200 Yds. 1st shot at 400 was dead on. With the factory barrel, I shot 4 into 4.6” at 1,000 Yds. I’m not a pro shooter or special operator - started shooting 3 years ago at age 71.
I can be biased for saying no one can deny how simple design Remington 700 is. Critics thumbs it down never the less it's copied by custom action makers, and to question the trigger issue, Quantico fielded it for a few decades and reported no such issue in the hands of our beloved servicemen. Good thing you guys put out such wonderful work.
Huge respect for the 450 yard accuracy!
I noticed right away that the setup now seems to allow for almost no body movement during reload cycle, and the amount of gas going sideways from the brake is amazing!
Every rifle I've put that tuner brake on has had positive results. The thing is insane.
I love your enthusiasm about the price point of your tuner Eric, despite your best efforts companies like dominion outdoors out here in Canada have it jacked up to $350 already, plus shipping.
I've done this same thing over the last year, but not factory ammo. I picked up an ADL Tactical in 6.5cm off the shelf for $400, came with a 20moa rail, heavy, threaded, varmint barrel. I put it in an oryx and bought a cheap brake while you were coming out with your tuner. Using my reloads and cheap Hornady bullets, it's sub 1/2 moa!
Something they may be interesting: compare the pillar bedded factory rifle to the chassis/tuner gun with handloads vs tuning. Show the whole process and expense of developing a load vs the cost of the tuner break.
I'm glad you guys found each other. Really like your content Eric. 👌
Thanks for responding to the question of blueprinting. I thoroughly enjoy the videos, content and learning something with each video!
Been watching this series with interest. Great idea, well thought out and incredible results. Congratulations.
Hey guys great video. This is the kind of stuff I love to watch. If you made more of this kind of thing i would definitely tune in. As you know not everyone can afford a custom and this is attainable to most if they save a little. Good job!
Just sent my order in - can't wait to see it on my AICS AT and how it runs. I really love what you're doing and what is essentially outreach to the community on many levels. Yes, it's a business and I'm happy to support it.
Triggertech primary for the money can't be beat. I have two of them, and I have a Timney, it's only real competition at the same price point, and the Triggertech is just better. It feels lighter than it really is because it has zero creep. Can't recommend them enough, 10/10. Just saw your idea about the factory stock. It looks like a cheek riser pouch setup like the ones from Triad Tactical might make it easier to shoot. They're like $60 and really good quality.
Very nice. I did a build on a 700 chamber in 308 . The bolt spring and trigger and chassis made a huge difference for me
Would be fun to add an adjustable inexpensive bolt-through kydex cheek riser to the factory plastic stock. Never done it but you may or may not have to add some foam inside the stock for rigidity. Also not sure what the foam will do to the balance.
Please do trigger and spring, then shoot it. Then do load development and show the process and result. If not here, do it on patreon. Thx!
Take it to your next PRS match!🤔
Okay so lets go backwards just a little, comparing from the start. Keepin the ammunition the same, stocks the same, scopes same. Where was the most significant change on rifle from the other? Would you agree it was the turner break? The other rifle in the comparison is shooting just the same but has no stock change except for lug bed and pillars or the tuner break. So personally IMHO the barrel had the issue and the tuner break made the correction almost 100%. Right?
Chassis tuner brake and AMMO. You got good fuel in there as well. Very cool series. Very cool.
