Two New Long Range Handgun Builds

[7Fingers]

Was finally able to get to the range and site in my two new Long Range Handguns. They both are using a new chassis that I am testing from KGM Technology. The grip is from Accurate Rifle Systems with the ABR from Long Shot Precision. Savage Target Actions and McGowen Barrel are also in the mix here. The top handgun is chambered in 223 Remington while the bottom one is chambered in 6BRX. After zeroing the .223 I fired one of the best 100yd bughole groups I’ve ever run. The target with the 4 stacked groups was with the 6BRX. Since I was fire forming new 6BR brass into 6BRX I just shot groups and adjusted the elevation 1/2 MOA after each group. I was quite surprised how accurate the BRX was while fire forming brass, had I not adjusted the elevation after each group it would’ve been a nice little ragged hole. Looking forward to seeing how well these chassis’s will do in competition but for just running a few rounds through them for zeroing I am extremely pleased. The chassis tracks like it’s on rails and harmonically is dead with absolutely no vibration which is extremely important to me. As I get more comfortable with the new chassis I will post some updates.

Long time BRX shooter here. What powder, bullets, and twist are you using.

Randy, how about a bit of run down? Twist, barrel length, neck, free bore, looks like a Harrels brake . I've blown the picture up as large as I can and am using a magnifying glass on the grip plate. Tell us a bit about that, Thanks

Great groups. Can’t wait to see them in action at Briar Rabbit.

They will be there if I’m still upright and able

Is that an aluminum chassis? I really like long barreled pistols

Excellent choice on barrel length Randy.

Yes it is however it preforms harmonically like a composite or wood.

I have one of the ARS stocks as well. It's the one that looks like a guppy. When I first started using it, I didn't like it all. I had my gunsmith mill off the bottom portion where weight can be added and it not only changed the appearance, but now works out really well.

I haven't seen the rear grip you are using before. How is it when you grip it with the holes in the grip or are you using a loose grip where you really don't have a solid hold on it?

The holes don’t bother me at all, there is no need to put a death grip on it, recoil is mild. Would like to see a pic of yours.

I'd sure like to watch the BRA recoil with that grip.

I'm still starring at the pics. Looks like a EGW base and Burris xtr signature rings. What inserts do you have in them? What is the center to center measurement of the rings on that base. Sorry to drive you nuts with questions .

This is what it looks like after I milled off the bottom. Much easier to handle. This one is a 20VT, left bolt, left port, 10 twist 15.5" McGowen barrel.
