Jon Beanland 6x47 Lapua

[buster hindend]

Had Jon build me a lighter weight 6x47 Lapua. He built me one a couple of years ago that's a little heavier than this one. Wanted to trim it up just a bit. I really like this blueprint for a carrying type rifle.

Is that a mcmillan game scout stock on your other rifle? They both look so sharp!

That a nice rig! Jon is currently building me a 6.5x47 and I cannot wait!

How much did it end up weighing?

To the guy that asked how it shoots... Jon built it, therefore it will shoot excellent.

Very nice rig, Jon had built several rifles for me in the past and all have shot incredibly well....his attention to detail is amazing and he's one hell of a nice guy too!

Great looking rifles!! I have been looking at the Swarovski Z5 for a light weight hunting scope. Please let me know how you like it.

I really like the Swaro for a light hunting scope. Love the glass

That is a sweet rifle. it appears that Beanland does great work, what was the turnaround time on your build here?

Fine looking rig - I'm sure you're gonna like it a lot. At first glance, I thought the bbl was heavier - more like a sendero contour. Then looked at the 2nd photo and realized it wasn't that heavy.

I built myself a similar rifle on a 700 SA in 250 AI with a Krieger #5 sptr and it wound up weighing 11lbs. I used Williams steel BM on mine, and a Bushnell 30mm 6500 scope, in a B&C 1000 stock. Was surprised at how heavy it wound up being - yours is more like what I was shooting for.
