Re: 6.5X47L

Looks really outstanding! What is the color/material used on the barrel, action, etc?

That is a good looking set up there. But how come no pictures of the target?

Re: 6.5X47L

The coating is Duracoat, colour... I think it is called tactical dark earth. Will check that!!

The reason there is no photos of targets is I was not walking over a 1km to take a picture of a rock... lol!!

Next week I am taking it out on rabbits.. should be fun!

Cheers

Re: 6.5X47L

Yes, S&B 5-25......

vman.. there is huge number of custom actions here in Australia.... Gunsmith is not from Vic.... I would only use a select few gunsmiths in Australia.

I actually shot this rifle in a state title 500m match today. Hung up the Benchrest rifle and shot this rifle off bipods and Redman rear bag. Lets just say I didnt come close to my usual BR rifle scores.... but it was not to shabby. The biggest problem was only 25X scope for windage holdoffs. hard to judge, but dont have this problem with a 12-42 Nightforce. I had to dial in wind and aim centre for a precise aiming point. Problem was I had to screw n windage both ways within one detail. Shitloads of fun though, and will do again!
