Let's see your 458 Socoms! (Page 2 of 6)
Finished my .458 socom last month after finding the only 458 upper at a gunshow. RRA car length upper with a lo pro GB under MOE handguards and faux GB out front for a dissapator rifle. Still needs a MOE fixed stock. (hint hint magpul!) She kicks like a mule too.

Alright, this thing is not done, but it's close. I still plan to add a KAC BUIS and replace the Eotech with an Aimpoint Micro with Larue low mount. I'm also waiting on my SBR'd stamp to come back for a Noveske N4 receiver, but it will just have to be mated to a pistol lower for now. I am also going to order a Bowers V50 suppressor, but I doubt that stamp will be here this year.

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. |

This is my TJ sitting on my Mega Gator lower I built for a 6.5 Grendel build.
I have exactly 1 scope mount for the parts I need for that build so the .458S gets a new ride for the time being I also put My Leupold VX III 1.5x5 scope with a Larue LT-104 ZVF mounts

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

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

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. |

Here's my RRA upper on a MEGA lower. The RRA upper was from the initial release ARFCOM "group buy". I have only taken it out to shoot once for some initial load dev and it shot really well with the Barska red dot pictured first. Then it had a standard A2 fixed stock and basic trigger. I recently upgraded it with a MAKO recoil-reducing stock (supposed to be able to stand up to the larger calibers, but I don't recall thinking it kicked too much when I shot it before), single-point sling plate, RRA 2-stage match trigger and the Millett DPM-1 scope pictured second.
Ready for a new range outting
