Drop Port Stolle Panda Action For My 30BR

[truckincars]

Here's the link to see what I think is the 1st Drop Port on a Stolle Panda Action. Thanks to 'Stick' at S&S Precision Rifles for doing the modification work on my Stolle Panda 30BR action.

Mike,

That's a great video. I'll be putting it on the Daily Bulletin.

You readers should also watch Mike's 13-minute video showing a 6.5x47 benchrest gun being built -- start to finish. This video will teach you more about how a precision rifle is built than reading dozens of posts.

Those Texas boys at S&S sure build some nice rifles...

I wonder how Jerry Stiller feels about that ?

The problem i see is the case drops case neck first, the last thing i need is a dent or nick on the neck mouth...........jim

I have only used a Viper Drop Port one time, and I didn't notice which end of the case hit the two thicknesses of terry cloth after the 4.5" drop from the bottom of the stock, but I would have noticed any neck damage immediately. There was none. The chamber had a .262 neck, so the brass was relatively thin. I shot several groups with the same brass. They were all good. The wind was easy, the load tuned, and managed not to mess up.

They fall rim first........jim

They all fall case mouth first. I put a plastic deflector on mine so the cases are kicked out to the right into a plastic tray. This keeps them out from under my left hand as it works the joystick.
