I have one on my Sauer Model 100 in 6.5 Creedmoor. It's a fantastic scope for the money. It gives my Trigicon Credo 2-10x36 mounted on my 18" DMRish AR15 a run for it's money @ a $550. cheaper price point.
17.5” T3x sporter, ASR brake, B&C stock with Titan universal cheek rest. Mountain tactical 20 MOA rail, Athlon 2-12. 308 Winchester.

So ugly it’s beautiful.
Its like a slutty XM3 having a midlife crisis. I love it!So ugly it’s beautiful.
That's definitly one of my favorite builds I've seen in a little while now
Little more of the 18” Cz 527 .223 love…
308. I changed the post to add that.
It's widely available and still performs with a short barrel.

I didn’t love my Manners CS2 - great stock, but the adjustable butt plate wasn’t as easy to use with a rear bag. Great stock for night hunting though.
When not using my thermal, I’m really liking the Manners LRH.

Stretched the legs a little bit on my 18” 300 PRC yesterday. Really excited to get my 16.5” 22 Creedmoor put together…
Looks like a sensational little build.
Seekins Hit Pro with 18” 308 barrel and SF RC2 7.62
Wanted to try something a little different so I built a 14.5 300blk SBR. R700 action, preferred 1.2 straight blank 1-5 twist, chambered and coated by Swift Creek Rifles, with a Zeiss S3 & KGM R30. Haven’t had time to put many rounds down range but I’m excited to try and get this thing out a few hundred yards. Using SMK 220s and N120 powder. I know it’s not really good for anything but should be fun and stupid quite
Might be better than you think……
Those 220 subs will penetrate more than one would guess.
Great deer hammer
Try it on some old helmets painted blue. Bet you can hit em quiet like out a good ways.

Might be good for something if it wasn’t wrong handed.
I love dumb pointless guns, I think it’s sweet.
I love this build. Just the right amount of high quality unnecessary. 
Remage 16" 22 GT 1:7.5 twist. Old R700 action. Plan on using this rifle for coyotes maybe deer with the 85.5 bergers

Enjoy that thing!!!
Anyone using the factory loaded 168gr Speer GDSP in their 16" - 18" 308 with a 10 twist? There is a stash locally and counter guy mentioned possible deal on whole lot, 50 - 60 boxes.
I have been using the 168gr Bergers, 180gr Bergers and 168gr SMKs at this point and Lapua brass.

I have a 16” Fix. The Contender is approximately 2” shorter in overall length.
16.5” 22 Creedmoor. Taking it to Wyoming for Mule Deer in a few weeks.
Awesome rifle, do you happen to have a weight on it? And what contour barrel? Getting ready to build something similar and considering that stock and a medium Palma barrel with a SiCo Scythe on the end for my nephews hunting rifle. Trying to get to 8-9 ish pounds
Thanks. 9lb 7oz with no ammo. Don’t remember the contour but I would say it’s a little smaller than a medium Palma. Handles great.
Do you have any velocity data on factory ammo you’d be able to share out of the 16.5” barrel? Thank you in advance.
Not yet. Guy I bought it from mentioned 140s around 2800-2850 though. When I get a chance to get it chrono’d, I’ll post results. In general I would think it would be 24” creedmoor numbers or maybe a little better.
Which Contour is that ? The Rifle is some kind of special in its own way, but i like it.
Its a Sendero contour. Similar to a Rem Varmint in dimensions, just carbon.
