After switching stocks and barrels a few times I think I finally found the sweet spot.

Yes they are handloads. With 41.8 grains IMR4350 I was able to get 2497 using 140 eldm out of virgin Lapua brass. With 41.3 grains IMR 4451 same bullets and brass was getting 2457. I have some H4350 loaded up but have not shot them yet. Hoping to get to them tomorrow. I do not expect those to be that much better if at all. I have never seen velocities that high in either of my 6.5’s. My CTR with 24 inch barrel is barely faster.Are those handloads? Seems quite a bit slower than it should be. Have an 18" ATX barrel and with mild handloads and 140ELDs it's getting 2650fps.
Sweet looking rig. That might stalker from manners will be sweet.
Sweet god that’s beautiful, how long was the wait for a lefty CDG?Well I had my first child and decided to shrink a stable of rifles (and associated reloading equipment) down to one “do-all” centerfire rifle in a factory caliber. I figured I wouldn’t be shooting as much and I could use the cash, pretty happy with how this project turned out.
After reading about the XM3 (and how much the Marines who used them loved the tradeoffs made on that rifle), I wanted something XM3-ish, but with technological upgrades from the last 15 years or so of rifle development.

So far so good - she’s only about 60 rounds in and I’m hoping the barrel speeds up. Best 600 yd group was with FGMM Berger 130 - pretty good SD/ES, but only about 2650 fps.
Not as good of a bench gun / stock as the A5, but man she feels great offhand.
Ordered Jul 31 23, shipped Dec 26 (Santa’s elves were on it this year).Sweet god that’s beautiful, how long was the wait for a lefty CDG?
Very nice. I need that chassis.Academy had these on clearance.
.308 with 14.5" barrel. Pin & welded SiCo ASR makes it non NFA.
2,500 fps with 168 Hornady TAP

I didn't see them offered outside of the entire rifle.It’s a Zealot, Terry makes them and they are sick.
I didn’t either. I would be more interested if they were. Great looking rifle though.I didn't see them offered outside of the entire rifle.
Where is the link for that rifle? I think I need one.
That should shoot amazing. The PVA Osprey barrels are fantastic.-Chopped 17” 7.5 twist PVA Osprey 6.5 Creedmoor Prefit M24 Contour
-Origin Action
-Steiner T6XI 3-18x56mm
-KRG Bravo
-Triggertech Primary
Just threw it together. Weighs around 14lbs as you see it, but it’s super handy and balances well. Easy on the shoulder but I still need to shoot it past 25m to see how it actually groups. Loving the Origin action so far. In some ways I actually prefer it over my Terminus. We’ll see how this barrel does as I don’t know anyone who shoots one, but the price was right and it was in stock.

Read above, post #3468 and #3474.what chassis is this??? looks awesome!
Looks like a fine rifle - and not too heavy for carrying it to interesting places.Not very tacticool but 18” 7PRC dedicated hunting rig. View attachment 8407015
I've got a Zeus QC with a 300 WM barrel lying around I don't really use, has anyone done an 18" to 20" 300 WM?
Thinking I would get around 3200 fps with a 155 ELD M, but open to other ideas. I like the 22" carbon 6 CM barrel I have but the 16" 308 barrel on this rig just feels right
ETA: I could cut down a 6.5 CM barrel to 18" but I kinda like the longer barrel because I get to have the same barrel length / weight as my 300 NM barrel but shoot $1 bills instead of $4

Thank you! Yea its an ESS. I haven't weighed it yet, but its somewhere around the 10-12 lb mark.MDT ESS? What's the weight on that rifle? Very nice setup.
I just had my TRG out this morning. I saw it in the back of the safe and couldn’t remember the last time I shot it so figured it was time to knock the dust off it. It never disappoints!Took ol' faithfull out again yesterday. Got this one back in 2013. It's one of the first post-2013 models, with a pre-2013 mag latch but a post-2013 trigger and safety. A lof of good memories with this rifle.
Still an absolute hammer. Took it out to 1100 yards.
