Love what you're doing here. I have some spare scope parts if you want to practice on a couple. I can remember when Toki was doing these and I'm pretty sure that he did several batches before getting the desired color. Also the different parts of the scope take the anodizing differently, so you may need a different formula for the different sections of the scope. Please keep us posted.

Still haven't had a chance to zero it...been too busy. Will keep you guys posted.

Per our comms, I will take it.

Hey, don't knock it unless you tried it.

I'd be curious as well.

The thin reticle has me turned off the H6x line of scopes. I know some don't mind, but depending on how and where you hunt makes that more or less important.

Any interest in selling the barreled action with trigger separate from the chassis?

Good run at the 10 round group, Scott. You should shoutout your buddy’s company. He’s obviously spinning up some good ammo.

Also, I know 6.5 creed isn’t known for heavy recoil, but your gun looks like it shoots really softly.

What brake are you running and do you know how heavy your gun is?

Thanks! I was pretty confident I'd hit the 10", hopeful on the 5" and had no idea how I would do on paper if I got that opportunity. Was cool to shoot paper at that distance, probably the only time I'll ever do it.

Chad at Custom Reloads of Dallas is a good friend, he helped me a ton preparing for this challenge, but also anytime I have any other shooting question he's always happy to help.

The muzzle break is called Little Chubby, was designed by a SWAT sniper in small town IL. I ran a search and not sure if it's still in production. I think the gun is about 12 lbs.

Nice shooting. Of the shots on paper, that was good. Like Brandon said, the trending can cause the need to change the hold gradually to adapt to rifle heat, mirage, wind, etc.

And you ammo friend has definitely done a good job, IMO.

My prediction if I were in that contest? I will hit that hill.

Thanks! I haven't shot paper more than 300 yards so this was pretty cool. In my normal load my gun is typically .1-.2 high on cold bore which explains why my shots were trending low. I forgot about that when I was shooting the challenge. Was cool to center punch the feeler shot, too bad it didn't count for anything!

Correct, Chad at Custom Reloads of Dallas loaded up 7 different loads of the 153.5 grain Berger for me to test in my rifle. Most of them shot pretty well with 2 better than the others. The hottest of those wasn't showing any pressure signs and he thought there may be another node if we go a tad higher so he loaded one more and that one ended up being the load that we went with. I don't have a chrono, so I basically backed into the velocity which ended up being 2,750 fps out of my 20" Tikka CTR barrel.

His normal process is to have the customer send/deliver the rifle to him then Chad shoots the test loads to find which one works best then loads up the ammo and provides it back to the customer along with the rifle. He is in North Dallas (hence the name) and I am in the Austin area, about 200 miles away so he sent me the test loads to shoot. I know he prefers to shoot the loads himself since he knows how good of a shooter he is, in an effort to eliminate other variables. We've been friends more than half our lives so he does give me some preferential treatment when it comes to his typical process. That said, he was super helpful in helping me prepare and practice for this challenge.

When I got the gun back in ~2018 he and I both shot different loads together with the 140 grain ELDM and he sells that as his "6.5 Speedmoor" load.

Let me know if you need one. Pm for best prices

Still have a couple

Time to treat them the same as foreign invaders.

Time to treat their remittances to Mexico, the same as we would drug money

It is time to go after businesses with both barrels, who hire illegal aliens. Treat it like felony tax evasion and money laundering.

It is time for the federal government to go after states that aid these illegals, including giving them drivers licenses and IDs.

We need to push forward hard, gain and keep the initiative/momentum.

And arrest those funding this stuff. Soros needs to get renditioned to Hungary or give him to Putin who would love to put him on trial.
