We started the LRKM project in the spring of 2007, I had been thinking that I needed a platform specific to long range hunting in the areas I hunt. Specifically I hunt in areas that you can’t get an ATV to mostly, so being able to carry the platform on a motorcycle is a big deal. I started a list of ideas and parameters for the project:
- •Much shorter OAL, less than 48”
- •Less than 16 lbs (Idaho Hunting Legal)
- •Better weight bias – more weight on the rear bag
- •More vertical style grip
- •No synthetic stock
- •Adjustable for LOP and for cheek weld
- •Free floating barrel
- •Efficient muzzle brake
- •Adaptable to various tactical uses
- •Chambered in 338 Edge and other large magnum calibers
- •Effective range 2500+ yards
So with these ideas in mind I set out on what has been quite a developmental adventure. I have a crate full of pieces and ideas I didn’t like getting to the finished product. However in the end the project has exceeded all of my ideas and parameters. The LRKM package with the NF NXS 5.5-22x56mm has the ability to zero at 100 yards and direct dial to over 2500 yards when chambered in 338 Edge +P. This is excellent performance in anybody’s book
