My New Stick

[tunacan]

I finished up my 6.5X47 Lapua recently and I thought I would share the details.

Here are the specs

PTG 6.5x47 .294 neck .140 FB reamer
Trued 700 Action
Brux Barrel - Modified Rem varmint contour - 26", .800 at the muzzle
PTG 1 piece fluted bolt.
PTG .200" lug
PTG Aluminum BM
Manners EH1 Stock - Pillar bedded
Jewell Trigger
RWS Brake
TPS Rings
Vortex HSLR 4-16x44
Bolt, barrel and lug have been nitrided

Weight without scope is 8.5 lbs on the nuts. Its a sweet little gun. Balances well with no recoil. It shoots ok too

Testing seating depths with 37.2 grains of Varget/130 Bergers/CCI 450s. 2877 FPS average. SDs and ES were very very good
Best groups were .040" and .050" off the lands. The top 2 groups were .020 and .030" off the lands. All groups shot in 15-20 mph wind

Testing RL17/130 Bergers/CCI 450s at 400 yards. 2950ish FPS with single digit spreads and SDs. This load didn't shoot well at 100 yards (just under 1" groups), but I small groups at 100 don't necessarily translate at distance.

Looks nice. I've got a new 6.5CM and it like the bullets about .050 off also. Has anyone else noticed this with the 6.5s?

Its a sweet stock. It balances nice, especially for being so lightweight.

Stock color is Durcoat Tactical Extreme Gray with some Tactical Black flecks.

That is a sweet looking stick. Nicely done. Great contrast.

Looks and sounds like a great gun to shoot

Very nice. I really like the look of the uncoated action with the black barrel/bolt and the gray stock. Did you do the plumbing yourself?

 

[Elite_KG]

I really dig the two-tone look. Really sets the rifle apart in simplicity. Nice!

 

[tunacan]

I did put it together myself. My buddy has a lathe.
I like the black bolt and stainless action, but was a little undecided about doing the black barrel and stainless brake. I really like it though. It came together well.

Looks like a workhorse. I like it. Two thumbs up.
