Iggyort 44 Posted April 20, 2019 Today I received my Mcmillian XIT Stock after a 7 month wait. Now I will begin building a spare F TR Rifle with a trued Rem action that I have and the spare barrel from my Pierce Engineering F TR Rifle. I plan to use the same Bix'n Andy trigger that I have on my current rifle. The barrel will be Bartelin 30" HV 1:10. The idea is to duplicate my Competition Rifle as closely as possible.

BullzeyeNJ 104 Posted April 20, 2019 Very nice. What bullet head are you using and whats the load ? 600 yard F class I assume. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iggyort 44 Posted April 20, 2019 I am using Berger 200gr Hybrid. The load is 44.1 grains of Varget. In a 30" barrel , I am getting 2765 FPS My Competition Rifle is single shot so my COAL is 2.901. Yes, F Class at Mid Range (600 yards) but I have a LR (1,000 yard ) Match coming in June. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bully 749 Posted April 20, 2019 That's gonna be a nice rig Iggy. Congrats. Who will be spinning the barrel for you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted April 20, 2019 So roughly what's the cost on that rig? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stock - 1100 Action - 300 Action Work - 200 Barrel - 325 Chamber - 300 Bix and Andy - 300 = 2525 if I've added it correctly without my coffee. Glass is another topic. Also, bipod and some of the other stuff that goes with it are additional. There are other mods that can be done to the stock as well, that is just the base price on the XiT. @Iggyort in the ballpark?

My former shooting partner and I had our old F Class Rifle done by them . Tier 1's work is excellent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Below is the cost of my Custom Build. The McMillan stock was less because at the time Mcmillian was given out Veteran's a discount. Unfortunately , some entitled idiot ruined it for the rest of us Veterans. The pillar bedding and bedding was around $200. In total, the complete Pierce F TR Rifle was $3,055.00. @Maksim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BullzeyeNJ 104 Posted April 21, 2019 How many rounds does it take to wear out a 308 f class barrel in your experience? Acceptable accuracy and velocity for the sport in consideration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Acceptable accuracy and velocity for the sport in consideration. @BullzeyeNJ I " shot-out " my last F Class barrel at 2,865 rounds. Let's be clear about the meaning of shot out. In F Class competition, you must hold 1/2 MOA to win a Club Match. At a National or Regional Match the rifle should be shooting 1/4 MOA. The barrel in question opened up to 1 MOA. Barrels are a consumable items in F Class Competition. They can be purchased fairly cheap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
