Range rifles

Another great photo of the Noveske that my friend RealDirtyHarry took for me.


Freaking brick but it’s still the traditional first machine gun everyone gets. What a mission getting these things to run. It’s obvious why he invented the mac11 after which runs perfectly out of the box

Agree with @Ronaldo
That build is already painful to the bank account, add the fancy trigger!

It’s gonna be a taco driver.
Autocorrect went with taco instead of tack. I’m leaving it!

What glass are you putting on it?


Picture thread,

First lower I ever designed in solid works.
Sabal Arms.


My go to mk18’ish / g19, and Cuban flag I laser cut and stained.


Ammodor, these guys build a great product. Called them years ago to just shoot the s**t with some general questions on process and if I can just buy the wood to do my own for personal use. Since I had a few Maverick cases laying around. The guy offered dealer pricing if we could advertisement them at the shop. Super cool.


Paint is just a seven step DIY with rattle can. I was testing the process and colors to make sure I liked it before Cerakote sense buying a bunch of colors would end up be a lot of money.

I like Timmey triggers too, I have a release on my model 12 trap.

Anyway, that’s the open turret I was talkin about earlier in the thread. Vortex Viper PST 6x24x50 ffp

It’s great glass, they really upped their game throughout the years and customer service is perfect.

Trap guns! That’s a whole other ball game of $$$$. Never jumped into that, have an old 1100 with a 28”
Barrel I have wanted to tray, but never make it out. Everyone always wants to play with the FA stuff.

All original bluing and wood, 1931 model 12. Still shoots perfect.

Eat your hearts out guys, 1/2" 3 shot group with bone stock Ruger American Rifle ($300+) w/Nikon 3 X 9 BDC Scope ($99) and neck sized hand loads. (It has shot 5/16" w/Nosler), but I prefer the Barnes for hunting.

Can't beat the bang for the buck!

Just sighted in the scope this morning.

(Caution: That is a hot load)

 

[blacksmith]

Wow that's definitely impressive Mike!

 

[Ronaldo]

Nephew in Western SD shot this beauty with a Ruger American in 7mm-08. They certainly do seem to shoot above and beyond the price point.

That's quite a hefty muke deer! What did it dress out at?

Hand loads definitely help, what yardage Mike?

 

[MustangMike]

100 yds.

Hand loading makes a huge difference in this gun (if you neck size only). The chamber must be a bit large. When I neck size only 1 less round fits in the clip!

Accuracy goes up by a bunch!

I'll bet if I fed it factory ammo I would not be impressed with it at all!

Loading it just like an AI

I bump the shoulders back .002 it saves me issues with closing the bolt in field conditions

Not sure that they scaled it or if they even had a way to.
