It is a remington 700 6.5 creedmor on an Mdt Hs3 chasis. I've got a timny trigger on it with an sas muscle break, hoping to purchase the barricade. I topped it with the vortex viper pst 5×25x50.
This is my first serious long range rifle.
This is my first serious long range rifle.
The smith is a local here in Rock Springs Wyoming, an disabled vet I deployed to Iraq with. Mike Sweat of Tetrahydron firearms. Good man, meticulous smith. He went as far as to bed the action because he doesn't like how the action bites into the aluminum chasis when torqued.
I have had it out shooting on some seriously windy days and it performs well. I havnt shot serious groups but in a 25 mile an hour cross wind, I was still shooting sub moa groups.
Oh and it's a ss shileen select match barrel. I will likely upgrade that when I shoot this barrel out.
Shooting off of the bipod, I hate the benches at this particular range, the seats are to low, so I just leaned over the bench and let her RIP. I made a few adjustments and fired that 5 shot group on the center target. Hornady 140 bhtp. I need to get a reloading set up.
a good rest and lest wind and a few more rounds down the tube and those groups should tighten up nicely
Nice rig man, congrats! A word of advice, invest in a nice rear bag. A lot of good companies out that make good products. Armageddon gear, Accuracy First just to name a couple
