Just another covid rule I ignored! Here's my mask that I wore in Menards!

Thank you all for the kind words. He truly is the best I have ever known

I built mine with a 16" W.C. 6.5CM barrel with the intermediate gas tube and adjustable gas block. I only have 50rds thru it, but love it so far. I am shooting suppressed tho. I'll keep an eye on the gas tube issue tho. Never heard of it and learn something new everyday.

The gas tube length issue only applies to Wilson combat large frame rifle length gas barrels. All other gas tube lengths are standard as far as I know.

Go figure, I was just looking out

He said he wanted them 3 days ago and then disappeared.

Just in case you wanted to know how the starter motor gear disconnects from the flywheel gear after startup.

Not to derail but if your looking in that top dollar “level” ZCO and TT are where you should be concentrating.

Lots of X vs Y scope threads on here, but unless there is a ret you love from the SB, do some more research.

yeah, i am looking at them also, but i thought the 6-36 was damn near perfect, and i wouldnt pay that money for them. i can get a used TT 5-25 for mid- $3k.

The “wide selection” Lego mentality is amusing.

If your action of choice has the stock and trigger you want why does a wide selection matter?

I don't think Clay Spencer is building rifles anymore. I think WAR Rifles is still in business, there's also Sterling Arsenal in, well, Sterling, VA.

Reduced too $4000

My first custom gun was built on a 2016 Surgeon action with a Bartlein barrel by Southern Precision. It was a 20" 308 and part of me regrets selling it, I just never shot 308. It would consistently group 1/3" MOA and I could shoot 1/2" groups at 200yds with it. It was a tank.

I also own an ATX. As others have said, stiffer to cycle. I don't compete in PRS and would consider myself a practical application shooter. So the tradeoff for the bolt lift in return for legendary reliability appeals to me. I think the ATX chassis is the best out there. It manages recoil very differently, IMO, from every other chassis and stock I have used. Enough that I put an R700 pattern rifle into the chassis to match the ATX.

I wouldn't hesitate to run a Surgeon again, but being able to switch barrels is where it is at. You can pick up a new or lightly used AI barrel for $400-600 and not have to deal with a new stock and glass to change calibers. So if you want to run an 18" 6.5 and then toss in a 22" 308, it is a huge cost savings.

If you want the R700 footprint, go with an action that has a set screw so you can spin a prefit on and tighten the screw, similar to the AI. It is much more convenient than pulling the action and tossing everything into a barrel vice. Worth the extra cost.

6.5 Creedmoor dies received. seller is good to go. Quick smooth transaction.

Thanks all for your "likes" and support concerning my post and lets hope Ted takes on a solution for us!

The other thing I didn't mention is using these small cartridges for to mid long range steel which is another thing I do. On a calm day last year I was hitting our 1143Y steel with my CZ527 in 20VT AI and 421Y is fairly easy to do in comparison.
These have low SD, are less noisy, low recoil and rifle upset, long barrel life, are very precise little cartridges, and cheaper to shoot. Heck if you think about it high end 22rf ammo is approaching $30 a box of 50 so I tapped out using it and shoot this gun instead at long range for the challenge of it.

Aside from that I bet Ted could build a heck of a solid pcp air rifle. I like Ted's innovation more than the other co's.

Ok, I've been exceedingly OT so I'll shut up now.

16" intermediate is a sweet spot in a 5.56 if you ask me. I do not care for 16" midlength gas barrels, and if not suppressed 100% or only shooting 1 type of ammo, I would think 16" rifle would be a pain to tune. Don't know for sure as I have never had one. I don't know about 6.5 creedmoor in that configuration though, maybe rifle length is the way to go.

The only thing she actually did wrong was plaster it all over social media. If you believe her story, and nobody does, she claims the dog approached her growling, miles from civilization. I would have shot it too, (again, her story is unlikely, but assuming it's true). If you have a gun and are approached by an aggressive dog, who appears intent on confrontation, any of us would shoot it. If I remember correctly, the aggression angle came about 3 days after the shooting, and about 2 days after she became the most hated person in America.

I've killed more than one stray out here that bristled up to me. One was actually significantly larger than the husky in the story (and was part of a pack of 4).

Big difference: No photos and social media 'hero' posts about it.

Feral dogs in packs are a bigger problem for me out here than coyotes.
