It might happen, looking into Apex Rival, Canadian built with Japanese glass scope. Still pretty new so trying to get my hands on one physically and talk to people using it I think I prefer the aprs1 over the aprs 6 reticle , the aplr5 might be dangerous as it's my understanding that shooting MOA increaces ones ability to procreate. Granted it's a small study sample but... The nicest scope I currently have is a Nikon Black FX 6-24x50

Unless it's super cheap, it's easier to buy up here. Single item export permit and ITAR is a pain on serialized goods. Didn't think about the Trijicon so thanks for that tip. The Chassis is from MDT made here in BC. MDT also makes various accesories such as scope rings and bipods. The barrel is made by International Barrel Inc just down the road from MDT. The Trigger Tech trigger comes from back easy in Ontario. The action is made for EM Precision( Canadian gun builder) by Curtis out of Texas to EM's specs. EM makes pretty much most of the Canadian King of the 2 Mile guns and for guys like Rob Furlong( held record from Mar 2022- Nov 2009 for 2475M[2706yds] confirmed sniper kill)

Still haven't so open to suggestions on scopes to research and see what's availible up here.

Talked to the builder and all parts are in except for the chassis. He's figuring mid January for completion

Great minds think alike... and then there is us

March is going to be a good month next year

Air bending is so last year... bending electrons is what all the cool kids are doing now On a side note my primary 'tool bag' is a bucket with a lid 'cause it wet underground.

I keep a bucket of random wrenches,screwdrivers,allen keys etc soley for the purpose of grinding,bending,modifying for a dedicated purpose

Speaking of classics, this one pop up in my Youtube feed...

I always look forward to thse stories.

The part about his class ring fused to the bulkhead made me pause.

At this point I don't think much will happen till the begining of the new year other than parts being gathered. Now to figure out the glass and have it tready for spring shoot

Another group that didn't get a lot of glory were the Lysander pilots flying into occupied territories in slow moving planes to drop of agents and supplies https://haynes.com/en-gb/tips-tutorials/clandestine-wartime-missions-westland-lysander#:~:text=The 'special duty' Lysander pilots,purely on spotting these lights.

Welcome from BC

So off later this morning to pick up dies, bullets and loaded ammo( easiest way to get brass) in 6.5 PRC. Next challange is figure out what scope to mount and start saving

It really does Above 140 gr bullets the following are availble,Berger has 144,153.5 target bullets and Hornady 147, 153. The barrel is finished at 26" and the brake added to that. I'm looking forward to us shooting it off your deck. Me too brother, still waiting on an exact time line for delivery, between Christmas holidays and supply issues???

So after lots of reading and conversations with @Magwa decisions have been made. While I was hoping for 7mm PRC the newness along with no support up here till well into 2023 it will have to wait. A number of calibers were eliminated from the start due to lack of support, more to do with ongoing shortages but still not looking to buy a aperweight. The winner was the 6.5 PRC, ammo ,dies and bullets are readily availble at two local stores. So the rough details... The stock/chassis is a MDT ACC Chassis which is locally made. The action is made by Curtis for EM Percision(Canadian builder of LR and ELR rifles) and basically a Rem 700 footprint The barrel is made by International Barrel(IBI) locally made. 26" finished length with an IBI 4 gill muzzel break. 1-7.5T, discussion with builder and Berger Bullets, once you start pushing 140gr and higher the 1-8 works but as a minimum and the 150gr and higher likes the 1-7.5 The trigger is a Trigger Tech Primary Curved PVD

There fixed it
