Has anyone built a rifle in this caliber and have recommendations on sourcing specific items? How did it shoot? How long a wait time for parts?
I have looked around some online. Altus has a barrel action
Which should be a good one from Jim’s rifle building course.
I am not finding stock options on this site that really saw “I want this”
What are ya’ll suggestions?
thank you
I’m not personally familiar with Altus. But they are using Bartlein, CRB, and Proof blanks so should be a good product. And the Impact 737r action is great. I put my 6 dasher in an MDT ACC Elite chassis and I love it. Are you wanting a heavy weight comp gun?
I have an MDT ACC Elite that has been sitting in inventory for a bit so I can sell it for $500 off. MDT ACC Elite Chassis System – Backfire Use coupon code acc500 if you want the discount. I only have one so first come first served 
Thanks Jim!
You basically forced me to buy it!!! I have never used MDT because I have never built a rifle before. The entire reason I joined was to see your course on building your own rifle from parts. So, THANK YOU!
I called Altus and the barreled action will drop right in.
So What barrel length should I get? 24 or 26 inch?
FYI I dont currently shoot competitively, only against myself…
Does an extra 2 inches with suppressor make the gun unweildy or more/less accurate?
Does that chassis have a folding stock? Of course you can always add one if it doesn’t. That will give you a lot of flexibility and make the rifle a lot more maneuverable regardless of barrel length.
That being said, unless you’re just trying to eek out the absolute maximum velocity, 24 in would probably be my preference.
I have a 25x47L which is extremely similar at 26". Zermatt tl3 w/ bartlein barrel.
I thought I would share the finished product from Altus barreled action with Timney "The hit’ trigger set at 8 oz. I have to say I am already in love with the trigger pull never having used a light trigger before. Topped it with a Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22 x 50 and Ultra 7 suppressor. I already had the MDT bipod but will likely search for another more stable one if anyone has suggestions. I really love Elite Iron Revolution bipods but it won’t work for this build. Thanks again to Jim for the awesome chassis.
This is a 100 yd group of 5 of my first handloads out of the rifle after sighting in. Looks like a shooter to me…
If you want stable I love my accu tac bipods. Built like a tank. Nice shooting
Murray,
Which model did you get?
I have 4 different ones based on the type of shooting. I have the tall f class one that pans and tilts, love it for bench rest. The narrow tall and short version that tilts and the intermediate width one tall I use for prs. Love them all. Mine are all arca but they offer both mounting ooptions
This week’s big game hunting podcast with John McAdams discusses the 25 Creedmoor. Haven’t made it all the way through yet but pretty good so far.
Also found it interesting that Weatherby now makes a rifle for this in their Mark 5 Deluxe model. And interesting combination of old school look with new school cartridge
