They just replied to me and said it’s a Mesa pattern. So looks like APR will just have to go off the photo to match.

And this color action

I have a gun coated in burnt bronze and the action on the one I posted does not look burnt bronze. Looks closer to a FDE or something more tan.

I like this pattern but can a little sage color be added to it.

So far what I have in mind is 6.5 PRC

24" Ratchet Fluting barrel
Barreled action cerakoted sniper gray or elite blackout.

Black Ice · 01-28-2019, 08:15 PM

Only thing I know is I’ll be going that urnage on the stock.

Robert,

What’s your thoughts on this action and the 30 nosler cut for 215s

Closest thing I have done with it so far is the 300PRC. It had no issues.

gfulton · 01-29-2019, 06:39 AM

Will you bed these stocks Robert? Sorry if this has already been answered.

How would i describe this stock pattern when placing my order? I'd like to get this pattern but in grey/dark grey rather than the bronze/tan in the pic.

Just say you want carbon desert night but with gray and dark gray. I’m sure they’ll know what you mean.

Edit: are you talking about the top or bottom photo?

I’m hoping it will not be an issue. We have done “custom” stuff on them before. Just suprised a short 7mm isn’t a standard in the lineup.

jettech17 · 01-29-2019, 11:40 AM

Order in !!!! Woohoo !!

May be a dumb question, but what are the pros/cons of a radial vs gill brake?

cwbrown · 01-29-2019, 02:05 PM

Planning on going with 7mm Mag, shooting Berger 180 VLD’s.

Would there be a barrel length and twist rate you reccomend?

Would the brake be cerokoted to match action?

Buzzsaw · 01-29-2019, 02:42 PM

was placing my order at Alamo this morning. think i heard all of you placing your orders too.

the wait is on. im worried those Proof Barrels are gonna take a while, so if your on the fence, get off and place your orders NOW!!

please

I placed mine today as well and could hear them in the background too. I bet they’re being flooded. It took 3 tries before I got the call to go through.

Stick1 · 01-29-2019, 04:44 PM

Update time!

First.....you guys have been keeping my front help busy today

Talked to Proof, and they said to expect barrels around the first of April. So it looks like the switch is not impacting the schedule too badly. For the one-offs like the 20" 7mm mentioned in an earlier thread, they'll do them with a minimum quantity of 5. So if enough folks want a length not listed on their site, it can be done.

RF76 · 01-29-2019, 05:32 PM

Robert send you a PM.

What are you guys calling the bottom photo when ordering. Is it the Mesa Vertical Pattern?

Also I want a little sage green added to it.

Buzzsaw · 01-29-2019, 05:45 PM

will the
'one off's" slow the rest down?

TransPecos · 01-29-2019, 05:51 PM

I’m in for a 20” 7mm-08 Proof barrel. I’m wanting short to run with a can. I’ll call and get on the list to see if we can get 5 barrels.

Please call the shop. Garret probably has a name for it now, since several were ordered today.

Shouldn't cause any slow down. We'll either have enough to add to the order, or we won't.

I may have missed the discussion earlier, but what are the advantages and disadvantages to going 20” on the 7-08 barrel?

Interested in this as well. I ordered a 22” bbl in 7-08 assuming I’d end up with a 24” in the event Proof couldn’t deliver a length not listed on their website.

So, that’s the carbon desert night pattern?
Is it being offered with a touch of green added?

Are you expecting the rifles will be finished in April? Teir 1 and 2?

Primary advantage is that if you decide to run it suppressed you still have a short handy rifle. Without a suppressor it is definitely handy. The 7mm-08 is one of those cartridges that doesn't give up a lot of velocity when you shorthen the barrel, I've seen tests that show only 17 - 25 fps loss per inch, even down to 18". So going down to 20" vs 24" you're only going to give up around 100fps.

makotex · 01-30-2019, 08:52 AM

What barrel length and twist are the 28 Nosler people going with? I don't reload so expecting bullet weight will be between 160-175gr. Thinking 26" with 1:9 right now

I think black would look good with that stock.

robie · 01-30-2019, 10:40 AM

Anyone else doing the plain carbon stock?

Thinking about tungsten cerakote to go with it.
