SHILEN 308 WIN BUILD

Shilen 308

Earl M. of Idaho sent us some new photos of his recent 308 Win build using a Shilen barrel and a Zermatt Arms TL3, both purchased from Northland Shooters Supply.

​​​​​​​Here are some of the components Earl used on his build:

  • 26” Shilen Stainless Select Match- Small Shank Savage- Bull Contour- 10 Twist with muzzle thread
  • Zermatt Arms TL3- AICS Mag Cut- DLC Finish- 20 MOA Rail- Competition Bolt Knob
  • NSS Squared and Trued Barrel Nut

Here is what Earl had to say about his build:
“I took the Shilen 26”, 10 twist, 308 bull barrel I got from you out to the range today to zero the scope and shoot a couple of groups.  The build also has a TL3 and barrel nut from your shop and I used your barrel nut wrench to assemble the barrel to the action.  

I was pretty happy with the 5 shot groups at 100 yards for the first time out.  I just loaded up new Lapua brass with 43 grains of AR Comp Alliant Powder and Berger 150 grain bullets and it turned out well. Thanks!”
