Hi All, Probably been done before but this is my new cartridge dispenser i knocked up in the shed ..Wanted to get the record rounds up next to the action and this is adjustable for just about any Gun/Port configuration,right or left..JR..Jeff Rogers

Purty!

What kind of wood is that, Jeff? Stained?

I made this a few weeks back. I also made a top to accept the 6mmbr or 30br. With the trend towards windage tops or toggle rests I wonder if the right port will become more popular ? With a left port the left side of the bench gets kinda crowded.

Robert, It's called "JarraH" a native red hardwood of West Australia..It's not stained,only sprayed with acrylic lacquer..JR..Jeff Rogers..ps closed thing i can see from over your way is Satine,h) also known as Brazilwood

Purty!

JB, I don't think it would work out very economical after freight .It weighs over 2 KG,a boxed nightforce scope back to the US for repair costs about US$ 40 for post.. Why not make one yourself,can offer assistance if needed,for zip ..JR..Jeff Rogers

Hi Lynn . That post is just something to rap your fingers around so your hand ends up in the same spot each time ..JR..Jeff Rogers..pc full pic of where your hand fits inside the buttstock

Jeff
Thats a good picture of your tensioned barrel.
If you don't mind my asking what is the purpose of the metal cylinder in the thumbhole of your stock?

AJR,

Tell us more about the rifle. I know many readers would be interested in the barrel system, stock configuration, and how you went about tuning the whole thing.

Hi All, Back from the 1000yd match..Had a bit of luck to shoot H/G small group and High score.. In AUS we shoot a format real close to the IBS system but get a 2 target agg in one day because the competitor numbers are not high..Although this is the toughest of our 3 ranges IMO i still managed to get the agg for group and score as well..Even though this range is difficult i'm goin back next year for sure, i believe it's possible to shoot a sub 8inch day agg even at this place,might have to shoot there a few more times but ..JR..Jeff Rogers..ps.. MOD .How do you want to see the info on my Heavy Gun???

Here's a photo of a somewhat similar principle bullet box I made last week. It's for 6br rounds and serves as a storage box and has a rim on the top to place the tray up near the action for ease of use. If I want to get a little angle like the others I suppose I could make a small wedge to place under the tray when it's on top. I plugged all the screw holes with 223 case heads and used a 35 Whelen case head for a handle for the door.

Hi GaM,Wood sounds fine,needs some weight so it's stable if used in a high position..Ask away on details by Pm if you like ..I cut the angles and such on my tool room mill i used to make all the other stuff for the gun ..Don't get the Share of Kids thing,probably a language problem..JR..Jeff Rogers

Why not make one yourself,can offer assistance if needed,for zip ..JR..Jeff Rogers

OK. I have some 6/4,inch and a half) Brazilian Cherry, aka Jatoba, left over from my kitchen island I built a few years ago. The stuff is really pretty but Lord it is heavy. My 4 ft X 8 ft island top weighs over 300 pounds.

You assistance would be appreciated. I won't have to knock something up in the shed will I? I've raised my share of kids....

Thanks....

Hi Guna, Now i get it..The tension thing is simple too, i used fibre washers between the alloy and the wood as friction plates,very consistant so far .. Yes the tupperware dish is to catch the empty's from my magnum drop port..JR..Jeff Rogers..pic of an early bullet tree i built for a 6BR some years ago,not adj)

Sorry Jeff. It's the old "Two countries separated by a common language" problem. To "knock up" here in the colonies means to get a woman pregnant. At my age, with all the kids and grandkids I have, this would not be good.

I really like the design since it folds flat and then can be adjusted to the same height as the port. The only question I have at this time is how you keep the tension constant so it stays at the correct level.

Also curious about the plastic dish under the rifle. I use one for my Stiller drop port and wonder if that's what yours is for.

Thanks.....
