Some very nice rifles in this thread. All of this is starting to make me think that I might need to build another....my rifle is a suppressed 16" but with can it has about a 22" bbl. Handles well but is a bit long.....I'm thinking SBR for the next and forgo a can.
A little off topic, apologies in advance but is there an "optimal, rule of thumb" bbl length for a .458S ? |

My hunting rifle is 9 1/2" built mainly for sub-sonic suppressed, but shoot some full velocities for fun. Built 10", 11", 12", and 16. The short barrels don't seem to loose much velocity. The 458S boar size, low pressure, and faster burning powders compared to most rifles, contribute to short barrels holding up the velocities.

I have .458 S in lengths of 13.5, 14, 16, and 20 inches. All of them with the same load shot on the same day are within 50 fps of one another with the 14 inch (long throated for 500 gr. + bullets and bolt action) being the fastest. All are stainless Pac-Nor barrels, three by TJ and one by TROMIX, two are 1:18, two are 1:14, the 1:14 14 inch is the fastest by a tiny amount. |

Savage Short Action. The donor rifle was a Savage 16.

I plan to put a M4 CQBR clone together in 458S at some point when I can get the funds together. I've had questions if the DD Mk18 RIS II rail would fit or not, but this seems to indicate it will fit. I'm much encouraged. |

Who makes this bipod??? (click pic links in red)
I ordered all the parts from Wilson Combat to build a .458 Socom upper about two weeks ago Probably have to wait 6 months or more for it to ship Originally Posted By Justin_Sain:

I am also going to order a Bowers V50 suppressor, but I doubt that stamp will be here this year.

Did you have to open up the ejection port on the OPS-4 any? Is that billet or forged? |

Great looking riles guys. I want to get. 458 upper bad but man you can't find them in stock anywhere. And parts to try and build one are the same way. Might just bite the bullet and order a RRA

We all know that not only does no one hunt with one... But I can distinctly see meat still on that carcass. I suspect your 3 shot Bolt gun is hidden behind that big animal. |
