Bolt Rifle Action

Thanks for all the help.

I have seen several 308 1:8 barrels at various threads, I think that there was a Rock barrel setup for a savage action on snipershide last week. The best way to findout about lead time is to make a call. Sometimes you can luck out and find one in stock. Don't forget about the TC Contender option with a SSK barrel.

Glad to hear you enjoyed my pictures...

My whisper host gun was a 700 Remington in .223

I went through PacNor for my barrel. Since I have enough rifles that shoot super-sonic, I decided to build my Whisper as a dedicated sub-sonic rifle - to that end, I went with a 1-in-7 twist to accomodate 220 grain and 240 grain SMK's

I'm not sorry I did.

I do not hesitate to recommend PacNor

all of my whispers are 1:8 twist... I have never shot it beyond 200 yards but they have no problem stabilizing the 240 SMK's. I'd bet the 1:7 is a tack driver. Can you share any additional info? have you shot any smaller heads?

I'm building my bolt on a Savage 12-BVSS single shot reciever. Picked it up less the .223 barrel for 325. Just like new condition. Waiting on a Pac Nor barrel, it should ship this month. As for the extractor problem, there are some specs floating around on the web that describe in detail how to modify the extractor to work properly.
I went Savage for all the reasons DonT mentioned + the fact they now make one of the most accurate 'out of the box' rifles around. Because it's easy to change barrels, there are cheap take-offs available if you want, for whatever reason.

Are you going to use a can?
I'm waiting on ATF so I can pick up an AAC Cyclone

Good choice on the can... The AAC Cyclone does a great job with my whisper at an affordable price.

But of course. I went with a 7.62mm SAS (Suppressed Armament Systems). He's a smaller guy in business but there are good reviews on his suppressors and service. His prices are great, and he was the only one willing to make two flashhider mounts with 5/8-24 and 1/2-36 (for my 7.62x39 AR) threads.

I'm currently waiting Form 4 approval too. My check was cash Oct. 29 and I still haven't went pending yet . My last Form 4, the month before, took 30 days door to door.

Since he does custom work, I sent him this e-mail below. I'm still awaiting a response. I've read the pressures are the same. I'll start another thread to see what everyone thinks.

Well, I have thought of another project. I recently became addicted to the .300 Whisper/Fireball round and currently have a Noveske 10.5 barrel awaiting my 7.62 can Form 4 to come through. The only disadvantage of using a 7.62 can is the weight. From what I've read, the pressures of the subsonic Whisper round is similiar to that of the 9mm. So here's my thought:

A can almost identical to your 9mm can except for a slightly smaller bore and setup to mount onto the flashhiders that I already have. I would probably need 2 more flash hider mounts (for a .300 Whisper Contender and a bolt rifle).

What do you think?
Sound possible?
What do your 9mm cans currently weight and what's the length?
How much weight would stainless baffles add? Or maybe just the first baffle be stainless?
Would an extra baffle provide additional suppression?

Let me know if you have any suggestions. And if you could, provide a ballpark figure on how much this will run me...
