I won a righty Jon Beanland/ Bighorn action rifle here on the hide. The finest rifle i had owned at that point. I loved the caliber and the action. Beanland makes lasers. and the bighorn action is smooth as silk..
But I am lefty, I wanted one sooo......
I recently collected all the parts i needed for my new lefty 6.5 build. I had heard good things about Meredith rifles here in Alabama. Talked to Tooter, friendly and knowledgeable guy. Gave him the parts and had a rifle in a little over a month.
this thing is awesome
specs.
6.5x 47 lapua
bighorn action
bertlien barrel.
mcree stock.
timney trigger
steiner scope
sphur mount.
atlas bipod.
26 inch barrel with brake and 2 1/2 pound trigger.
CeraKoted the barrel and action.
I took out for the first time yesterday. Loaded up the go to generic load for 6.5 x 47, 37.5 grains of varget on a berger 130 grain bullet with lapua brass. 2.80 OAL
got it sighted in. I am not a big believer in break in methods. i shoot a clean bullet followed by another clean bullet.
4 shots , sighted in at 100 yards. walked it out to 530...laser...
then did some chorno work , I am getting right under 2900 FPS with this load. can't wait to take it out to hardrock and take it out to a grand.
here is the rifle.....he even gave me a free t shirt...and who am i to turn down a free t shirt.....
first group i shot once re adjusted my zero..
5 shots. almost inside of a dime. not to shabby. should be punching bugholes with alittle fine tuning. i shot this group with a rear bag and bi pod off a bench.
