[Terry]

Take me to school!

Show me your Heavy Gun.

Tell me what you like best about it.

Anything you would change?

I can't...my wife would not approve of that behavior. LOL

I don't care who ya are, that is funny!

Stock it a Shehane ST 1000 to be painted, it has lead added to the stock for balance, lilja 28" 8 twist, 1.350 taper to 1.200. Jewel 2 oz trigger, action is a stiller Viper ss, jgs reamer in 6 dasher.. And Murphy Precision mounts, polished them myself, leupold 45x45 competition with target dot, all in all pretty stock standard.. But yet to shoot it.

 

[Terry]

Cool!

The trend at our club seems to be moving away from traditional heavy guns. A lot are just shooting their light guns and those with heavies are basically a 20 lb light gun. If you get your light gun to track I am not sure theres an advantage to a heavy unless you want to soot a 300.

 

[Terry]

Bingo!

That has always been the advantage of the Heavy Gun.

Terry, a lot of shooters are basically turning their LG's into heavies with 5 or 6 inch forearms and 2" wide bag riders in the back. I can see why because I've always had a problem with my LG tracking, it never comes back to the same spot, that's why I love my true HG.

You have a great Heavy Gun, and do very well with it!

 

[JamesnTN]

Here's mine. It's a Bat M action Dual Port in a McMillan MBR stock that's got lead molded inside it. The barrels I have for this are, 300 WM 1/10 twist 284 Shehane 9 twist and an 8 Twist 6 Dasher.

This is probably the most accurate rifle I have. The reason I like it is that it tracks and goes right back to point of aim. I'm considering building a LG with same style stock and doing away with one of the Leonard stocks, that's how well this tracks.

Can't show you a heavy gun because i use two light guns, added the UHMW. plates and they track great. Can't see the need unless you shoot a 300 WSM. but in a Dasher it shot a bunch of 4" 100's. When you get up in age, lugging them around gets to be work……… jim

 

[Terry]

Thanks for the post!

Wow!

I would love to see it shoot.

Thanks

I think shooting your light gun in the heavy gun class is a great idea, everyone should do it. You want have to lug around that old Heavy gun. And only have to work up one load. :

Here is mine,,,it weighs 12+ pounds,,,,Roger

 

[Jose_Luis_G]

Mine is intended for 3x40 and Prone at 300 meters.
Unique T3000 in 6.5x55, very close to 8 kg. Two barrels, one for training, Pac-Nor 1:8", 4 grooves and 9,204 shots, still accurate; the other is also Pac-Nor 1:8", 5 grooves and 2,236 shots, just perfect.

Alex, after half the season was almost over i got my light guns working i think my 6 match agg. for heavy with the light gun was 5.6". So light guns are more than capable if they track …… jim

 

[R.Morehouse]

Here's a better picture of my "real" heavy gun, I knew I had one somewhere. If I keep after it I'm sure I can make it out shoot my light guns. Maybe even use it in a relay some day.

Is that a Gary Hayes rest under your Heavy ?
