It simply is the most versatile bolt action there is, and is the one that will maintain the bullet as perfectly aligned to the bore centerline as possible. Anything with a plunger extractor puts an eccentric force on the cartridge so if there is space there will be some misalignment to the cartridge. If you can stand a barrel nut, changing barrels is a 15 minute process, so if you wear out a barrel, no gunsmith bill needed.
To convince the wife that it is absolutely necessary, assure her that ARC did a lot of destructive testing to be sure the shooter would not be injured in the event of a case rupture. So safe she can't afford to have you use anything else. ![]() Now for the caliber. You need something a little exotic and unique like a 338-06 AI shooting a 225gr Bulldozer. With a BC of 0.64 and a MV of 2600+ the trajectory is the same as the 6.5 Creedmoor with 140 gr bullets but will arrive with a lot more energy. You could kill anything in the world with that cartridge with less recoil than a 338 Win mag.

Lori won't care.
As for caliber⦠you are a real jerk⦠I"ve aways wanted a 338-06⦠was having one built at one time but the shop burned. Long story. OK, I"m thinking on it...

I actually spoke with Lori about this⦠she wanted to order me one for Christmas. I explained that it would take a little more time than that to meet my complete set of requirements for building this rifle. Now I'm on the hunt.

Nice. 339-06 has been one of my "wants"⦠I'm still on the fence about it, but started the research again.

Iāve heard that mentioned as an āadvantageā in favor of actions with fixed blade ejectors many times, and conceptually the argument makes sense. However, I donāt buy it. Iāve got no shortage of actions using both ejector types, and if that made a difference, Iāve never been able to see it on targets. Lots of benchrest competitions have been won with plunger ejector actions. If you think about it, plain olā gravity has the same effect. Instead of the case leaning toward the side of the chamber in response to plunger spring force, gravity makes the case ride the bottom of the chamber. I prefer a blade type fixed ejector simply because I can control the case ejection force and distance by how forceful I work the bolt. But as with most things in life, gaining one advantage usually involves making some negative concessions. A fixed ejector system is slightly less safe in the event of case rupture, because it requires a slot through the bolt head that gives gas an escape path back toward the shooter. The Mausingfield is a cool action, but damn, I wish theyād used a bolt knob design that didnāt look like a Christmas tree ornament! |

That's the reason I like it⦠I have Christmas tree ornaments exactly like that (different color). I may paint it if I get oneā¦

I just gotta say why a magpul stock? Such a beautiful setup and then that stock. Just a little ribbing is all ;).

More for practical reasons. I needed the gun quickly because we were developing more bullets for the 6 mm caliber. I could get the barreled action done in 2 weeks but would have to wait 6 -8 weeks for an inletted Manners stock. The twist needed for the new bullets was going to be 1:7 and my friend, who sells for LRI in Sturgis, had a 7 twist barrel available. As it turned out I like the Magpul stock. It is adjustable for cheek rise and LOP, and has a stiff forend sufficient for a bipod. It is a real value for the money. The action dropped right in save for a very minor inletting to accommodate the side mounted bolt release. Also, once sighted in, removing and replacing the action in the stock did not affect the point of impact. Jason just finished the prototype bullets today (100 gr Bulldozer and a 105gr ICBM, both with BCs that we think will be higher than the 105 Berger), so I will have the chance to shoot them this weekend if we don't have a blizzard. The gun is capable of 1/4 MOA or smaller accuracy.

Lori gave me a "thumbs up" on the Mausingfield in 338-06 with a Cadex chassis. There are some specifications to work out, but looks like I'll be making some orders sometime after the first of the year.

I love my Mausingfield. Built mine in 22-250. Have a second action sitting in my safe if anyone want to buy it. Or until I decide what else to build.
