ZERMATT TL3 SINGLE SHOT AND SHILEN 6 PPC BUILD
Paul S. of New York sent us some pictures and info on his Shilen 6 PPC build with a Zermatt Arms TL3 single shot action. Here are the specs on Paul’s build:
- 24” Shilen Stainless Select Match- Varmint Contour- 6 PPC (.264 Neck)- 13.5 Twist
- Zermatt Arms TL3- Right Bolt/Right Port Single Shot Action
- Shilen Competition Trigger
- NSS Squared and Trued Barrel Nut
- NSS 4” Barrel Nut Wrench
Here is What Paul had to say about his build:
“I used a Zermatt TL3 single shot action. Shilen stainless select small shank barrel chambered by Shilen in 6PPC, varmint contour. Shilen competition trigger. Kelby’s benchrest stock. Harrell’s mounts and rings. Leupold competition 45×45 scope.
I shot 5 to 6 fowler shots. After cleaning, it shoots groups like this every time. The target is 5 shots at 100 yards.
- 28 grains of Vihtavuori N133 powder
- 68 grain Berger column bullets
The stock was used. It was set up for another style action. I filled it back in with bedding and re-cut it. They don’t make the stock anymore. The TL3 action works great. Smooth as glass and I love that the bolt heads can be changed for different calibers. The gun weighs 9.8 lbs.
