What stock ?

 

[Zero333]

4,000+ fps ??

That's mind boggling.

Richard Franklin built super nice custom rifles and stocks for years here in Virginia. He was a diehard Groundhog hunter as well. You should all buy his Groundhog hunting videos he has made. He still sales them thru his website Richardscustomrifles.com

Thanks

Believe it or not, that 125 will stabilize in a 17 twist if it's 32" long. Then the speeds get stupid high.

 

[HillbillyLongRifle]

The 30 BR will stabilize a 125 Nosler in a 17 Twist barrel. Ive shot many a match with 118 Bibs in 30 BR with 18 twist barrel. Yes the 300 Varminter only needs a 17 Twist if you are going to shoot only 110 vmax or 125 Nolsers. The 15 twist is for 110-150 gr bullets at the speeds it will produce. Its a nice cartridge none the less.

That is one impressive really nice looking rig. Richard is a very skilled gunsmith.

 

[HillbillyLongRifle]

Richard is a good man. He has taught me alot about rifles and building rifles.

 

[Alex Wheeler]

I have been very close to building one for myself a few times. Would be a heck of a rock chuck rig.

Richard built my 6mm AI
It shoots better than I can hold.

[HillbillyLongRifle]

His 6MM Rem Ackleys shoot well

If any of you are interested in this caliber, I have a Brux 17 Twist 32" Skip Fluted Straight barrel I'd let go of
