New project underway

[Jay]

I’ll drop a couple of hints, and that’s all for now. Action info with action length and bolt face, trigger, and the type of platform it will be.

[CPJ 2.0]

Man, why would you buy THAT?

Did you just happen to come across it at random?

Yup. Totally random. There was no outside influence whatsoever. I just came up with the idea to build this all on my own…

[CPJ 2.0]

We are even, for now.

But I really didn’t have anything to do with this one.

[Jay]

You’re a jackass. Guilty by association…

[CPJ 2.0]

Well, I certainly didn’t discourage the purchase.

[Jay]

I am kinda curious to see how long it takes for the chambering to be guessed correctly. By those who don’t already know.

It’s really not super hard to figure out…

[Diver43]

My guess is that will be a nice. 308 Winchester when put together

308 is for losers and midgets.

[Jay]

Yeah. That. And, it’s not .540 bolt face… hint….

But im not a midget. Hey WAIT!!!

[Wambli Ska]

A WSM?

[jkp]

6.5 PRC?

[jkp]

What... not a .540 bolt face? The bolt you linked is .540?

[Jay]

I meant 308 Winchester is not .540 bolt face. This build is what I posted in the original post.

[Elk Creek]

Well that looks fun!

Well I’m not a midget so I must be a looser! Sweet!! My high school guidance counselor said I’d never amount to anything, and look at me now a looser!!!

[Jay]

I’ll let the thread run a bit before I confirm or deny any guesses.

If you have a sense on my style over the years, what kind of cartridges and ballistics I tend to gravitate toward, it might make sense.

[Jay]

Barrel and dies should be here early next week. No telling when the action, trigger and chassis will be here. So, we’ve got time.

I’m both, so there’s that. But not as much of a midget as an other guy I know.

I’ve pondered other calibers. But, I’ve got a literal lifetime supply of .308 brass.

I wonder where that came from…. Hmmmmmm

[Justsomedude]

338RCM?

[Justsomedude]

And just for funsies, a buddy of mine who just developed a really weird 416 wildcat using 338 Norma brass made this (also 416) just to mess around. It'll fit in a regular long action.
