Corlane Mountain Rifle

shirtr · #1 10-01-2008, 10:16 PM

Just got her back from Corlane. Turned the original 700 Ti 270 cal into a 280 AI. Should be breaking it in by the weekend.
Breakdown:

24" Pacnor Super Match Barrel
Fluted (6) and powder coated
Accurized action
Sleeved bolt
Bedded and floated

I also added VX111 B&C 4.5-14 x 40 and talley lightweights. Loaded up some Nosler BT's and am ready to fireform and break it in.

Anyway, here are a couple of pics. Pretty happy with the result so far, but will have to range test.

Nice. How much do you think you have invested in it?

Too much...but it looks good, feels good and will hopefully shoot good for years to come. If it does, I will be sending them another Ti I have.

Sweet looking rig. Corlane's / Rocky Mountain Rifles do grea work. Barrel looks similar to my Sako m75SS 300WM that I bought from Corlane's in 1998 and had the factory barrel flutes and the flutes teflon coated and the rest of barrel polished.

I'm waiting for mine back from Corlane's-was hoping to have it already to take to moose camp this weekend. Mine is a Sako m75 Greywolf that was a new 25-06 and will be a 338-06AI with a 24" PacNor barrel, fluting, flutes powdercoated gunmetal grey and the rest of the barrel bead-blasted to look like factory stainless look. Will have a Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40 BC gunmetal grey scope mounted in Sako Optilok rings & bases.

I seen a helical flute job they did and was very tempted but went with the straight flutes- just with a bigger cut.

Did Corlane spiral flute the bolt? Last I spoke with them they only did straight flutes on bolts.
