Here are a few pictures of our long range setups in Pa. I will post story on the center fire board some of you my not use that board so here are a few pictures. Tiger maple stocked heavy gun is mine it is chambered for a &MM STW shooting the new 195gr Berger EOL bullet at 3,300 fps and the aluminum stocked gun is a 338/408 Chey-Tac that is a real 2,000 yard gun. Hope you enjoy

Holy crap ! Lol Elkman I know you can build some shooters But those are some massive ugly guns ! Lol I'm not trying to make you mad in any way and I'm sure you have reasons for building them exactly the way you want them. But that looks more like liver to me than candy . Lol I really hope I'm not ticking you off .

I can't imagine shooting at 500 yards let alone 2,000! These are very specialized rifles. An analogy is a Formula One race car compared to a regular street automobile. The performance envelope of these long-range rifles is mind boggling.

If you have ever been to or competed in 1K bench rest you would see a lot of guns that look like this. Its all about functionality not beauty. Many of these guns are in the 70 to about 90 lb. range, are filled with lead and sport barrels in excess of 2".

Like anything else these guns are not built for just anyone or anything very special in nature. Just like a smokeless muzzleloader a lot of true black powder guys turns their noses up real quick when you drag out a high performance smokeless muzzleloader no matter how nice it looks. As Richard points out these types of guns are the normal type of heavy gun used in 1,000 yard competition. The aluminum gun I pictured belongs to Matt Kline the current world record holder of the smallest 10 shot group at 1,000 yards and also a perfect score 2.810 for 10 shots I believe Matt would rip you a new one if you didn't like his rifle.

Them are some really wild and deadly accurate looking guns. I can appreciate all guns for what they are and what they do. Looking good!

Beauty is a funny thing, usually "In the eye of the beholder".
When a 200" monster is laid to rest at 1000 yards the beauty of these firearms are apparent.
Love your shooting platform / rest, a work of art.
Best of luck hope you get a monster.

what is the block in between the action and the barrel? I have seen several, and didn't know what that was for?

Ron..........that is whats known as a barrel block. The barrel is either glued or clamped in the block. The block generally has a flat bottom. (some barrel blocks are two piece and have screws compressing the barrel between the two half's and some are just bored to fit the barrel and are epoxied together) The block is then bedded to the stock and there are screws that come up from the bottom (just like action screws) that hold the block in place. The "action" is then FREE FLOATED and also the barrel. This system is ideal for very heavy barrels as it lends plenty of support...............as opposed to just the threaded tenon in the action. With lighter/shorter barrels, the block is not necessary although some shooters will still use a barrel block. In place of the barrel block with lighter barrels it is generally felt that bedding about two inches of the barrel just forward of the recoil lug will add some needed support. It basically "shortens" your barrel by the length of the block in terms of how much is hanging free floated.
