Sunday GunDay: Shelley Davidson’s Amazing “Tinker Toy” 30 BR (2020)

Posted by accurateshooter.com on 9/27/2020 to PTG Gunsmithing School
Shelley Davidson’s peers called his radical rifle the “Tinker Toy” gun. We call it revolutionary. Even now, 14 years after its creation, there’s nothing quite like it. This innovative, skeleton design threw conventional wisdom to the winds. Shelley readily concedes he “broke the rules” of benchrest rifle building. But this was inspired rule-breaking, because Davidson’s rifle shot like a house on fire. The Tinker Toy gun won its first matches, both for Score AND for Group. And this rifle also delivered many “zero groups” in Gene Begg’s Texas Tunnel. Hats off to Shelley for conceiving and building a truly radical rifle that was also wicked accurate and successful in competition

Darrell Jones 6.5×47 Lapua (2006)

Posted by accurateshooter.com on 6/6/2006 to
Proof of Concept Rifle, an American First, Shows Winning Abilities.
Lapua’s new 6.5×47 cartridge has attracted much attention in recent months. But brass has only recently arrived in the States. Here we feature one of the first 6.5×47 rifles built in the USA, Darrell Jones’ new “Forest”. Darrell was a real pioneer, commissioning reamer and dies before he even had his hands on final-production brass. A month of testing in June 2006 demonstrated the cartridge can deliver impressive velocities with outstanding accuracy. Darrell tested a variety of powder and bullet combos before settling on Reloader 15 (RL15) and Sierra 120s at 3068 fps as his match load. With that combination, Darrell’s new 6.5×47 took first place in its very first match. Yes, the 6.5×47 will shoot. Lapua has definitely delivered a competitive new option in the precision shooting game.
