Gregory W. of Wisconsin sent us some photos and info on his Shilen 20 Practical. Here are the components he purchased from Northland Shooters Supply for his build:
- 26” Shilen stainless select match- large shank Savage- Bull contour- 20 Practical- 10 twist
- Savage Arms Molel 12 right bolt/ right port single shot target action
Here is what Gregory had to say about his build:
“Just built this 20 Practical using a Savage Target Action, 26” Shilen Select Match Bull barrel with a 1:10 twist, Nikon 6-24 scope. With 20 rounds shot out of the barrel, it loves 40 grain Hornady V-Max’s @ 3670 feet per second.
After 40 rounds, I cleaned the barrel with 3 patches and Hoppe’s Copper Solvent, patches had no copper on them, and the barrel was brilliant inside. The new Garmin chronograph measured these velocities and never missed a shot. I think the faster twist stabilizes even better, as none of my groups ever had a flyer, and they had low ES’s (extreme spreads).”
