Well…..I got mine after a tour in Kosovo / Bosnia 1999, 5 Iraq combat tours, 3 Afghanistan combat tours and a combat tour in Syria……retired in 2015. The rifle / suppressor is all to 2015 specs. Hit gallon milk jugs at 1,000 easy using AB-39 / 175 gr ammo. The stock is the McMillian A4 stock. Good luck trying to find one. Mine is still rattle canned….but worn. Semper USMC / Retired
Mcmillan did a limited run on A4 stocks a few weeks ago in both short and long action. I bought the long action option as I'm building a 300prc m40a5 clone. Basically a magnum m40.
@@hardlylivin6602 I'm looking to build an M40A5 in 300 Win Mag. How much did your stock cost and who are you getting your barrel and action from? I'm looking at Bergara for a barreled action just don't know if I want to spend the $1,200 on it
@ The McMillan was about a grand and was only a limited run for the long action version of the m40a5 stock. They can do a custom order for you though if you need. My barrel is a Xcaliber 300 cal blank with their m40 profile option. The action is a standard rem700 long action.
Sweet rifle. I was thinking of doing something similar but in 6.5 Creedmoor and with the impact precision action. Both the Mcmillan and the Manners stocks look nice. The impact precision action has the recoil lug built into it like the Winchester model 70 and you can get prefit barrels for it so it's easy to change barrels. I love the look of the M40A5 but would much rather have 6.5 Creedmoor and being able to change barrels at home is a plus.
Bro… I think I know you. Nice rifle. For a back story. Not to give too much away. I worked at an aid clinic in Southern California. 2004-2007. We were in Laredo, Texas together. You were working on a bridge, fence and a low water crossing. Even played in a big sand box. Lol. Glad you are good bro.
@@The_Texas_Rigged_Life suuupp brotha! I got a rifle build myself. Savage axis pro 2 on an mdt LSS. 308. Lookin through an Arken optics ep5. Trying test it out at pala with beautiful girl I met. Going this Saturday. 🤞🏼wish me luck
@The_Texas_Rigged_Life good to know. I'm having a 308 built with an 18.5" barrel in a Grayboe style stock. Kinda like a half M40, half XM3 Frankenstein lol. Its a 1-10 twist, but TBH, I'm hoping it'll group well with the more affordable stuff like 155gr PPU Matchline lol 😆 🤣.
@The_Texas_Rigged_Life I think most of us get a rifle and pray it'll be a garbage eater, just to end up finding out it prefers not only heavier, but Hornady heavier lol. It's like hoping your kid turns out a lawyer, and he ends up at McDonald's. You can hope, but you know what's possible lol.
Killer rifle brother…try some 110v max or nosler varmageddon..my 1:12 fn spr will stack em and fastest .308 I have at 3500fps 24” barrel..3300 from my dd5v3. Love the 168a max and eldm and have them in .308 and 6.5prc..I have old 7rem mag 700 I’m gonna build similar to yours oneday…just got the 4.5x22 lht ands awsome. 3x15 viper on my spr
Thank you sir ! I have a lot to learn about putting something like this together, let alone learning how to shoot it and what a D.O.P.E. card means but it looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for your response @@The_Texas_Rigged_Life
Here is a scope that might put on your list optics to consider, the Brownell’s MPO line of scopes. I put together a Savage 110 Tactical in 308W, I replaced the barrel with a Criterion barrel 22” topped with a 3-18x 50mm 34 mm(T) with MIL -E: 40, W:32, WT:30.5. I replaced the factory stock with a KRG Bravo GI green or OD.
Fyi. Hornady Black is a target round, not recommended for hunting. Proper bullet expansion is hit and miss with the Hornady Black when shooting animals....dont ask how i know.
I have never had an issue using black. In my previous hunting videos I was black and it dropped what I hit. That sucks it hasn’t worked that great for you. What caliber were you using?
When SHTF and all you have is cheap FMJ bullets shot placement is going to matter. I too use match ammo to be specific Hornady ELD M and I too have dropped deer and coyotes 200-300 yards out. The military currently uses 175gr Sierra matchking BTHP and have scored kills from 800-1,200 yards away. Even further with the 300 win mag using 190gr bthp match ammo even further. If you shot a deer and it did not drop then it’s a clear indicator that no vital areas were hit and thus being a slower death. Therefore leading to a blood scan search. 90% of my kills drop right in the spot very few times where I shot a coyote or a deer and it ran but then it would slowly drop.
@Texas_Rigged im proud of all 3 of you gentlemen for being able to kill game with match ammo. I was just stating a fact that Hornady Black ammo was designed for target/match shooting.
You need a bubble level on your scope dude.. I see so many guys on RUclips build badass rifles and wanna shoot long range but don’t have a anti cant bubble.. just cutting your self short
Put a real scope on this. At the very least a Schmidt. If not then put a nightforce atacr on it. Get that vortex crud off this bad boy. Also vortex razor line gen 2 and gen 3 are crap so dont waste your money.
I’ve seen couch snipers with all the latest high speed they can buy. Then there’s grandpa with his weaver 3x9 who puts them to shame. Google Carlos Hathcock.

Amazing build. I’m looking to do the same. Are you sure that’s a 16in barrel? It looks longer to me. Either way badass gun.
Thanks. It is 16 inches.
Cool video. With that 1-12 twist, have you tested the Black 155gr and see how it groups? Just curious.
@@pasqualinoiannelli4275 i actually have. They grouped well about 1 MOA but not as tight as the 168 grain.
