Newest build.

[brockel]

Newest build I’ll be playing with. 7mm Sherman max built on a tikka action, Mesa arms precision stock, 20” x-caliber 8 twist, with banish 30 suppressor screwed on the end. Now to decide on what scope to put on top. Need to find a vx5hd in stock somewhere

Damn. That’s a nice one. What bullets do you plan on shooting?

@noharleyyet better start saving yer pocket money…

Looking good. Did you do your own barrel swap or use a ‘smith?

I’ve got Berger 168, 180s and some hornady 175 eldx to try

Smith is a good friend so I go that route everytime

If that was a lefty, I would be arm wrestling @noharleyyet for it in six months!

I am looking forward to your report on the load work-up.

That stock looks super comfortable. Great looking gun.

Ballistic and db report please. Is that a long box?

Yep using their long action magazine for it

I'll be curious to see what you think of the stock. They look nice albeit a little on the spendy side.

Build looks great!

Yep. Great brass

I use one of those Altitudes on my tikka build. It's a good stock. I didn't bed it for the longest time and when I did, it shot exactly the same as it already did. How do you like the thicker grip?

I like it

Sweet looking setup!

I went with the same stock (different pattern) on my 7SAUM. Waiting on barrel and suppressor. Looking forward to your load work up.

Have you seen these? They give you a touch more COAL (3.4 v 3.34 factory).

The 7mm max case is short enough that you will run out of bullet before you run out of oal

They make some good stuff in general. I swapped the recoil lug, action screws, and bottom metal on my 2004 circa T3 Lite SS that is in a B&C stock. It already shot great, but tighter is better, right???

Tighter is always one compulsion away Ross...for me anyway.
