I have been shooting two different stocked 308 custom rifles rifles for the last 20+ years (GAP and HS Precison) and I am now looking to get a chassis based bolt rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor
I have been researching production rifles (Accuracy International mainly) as well as some of the custom chassis stock manufacturers and I am interested in others opinions about the pros/cons of the new AI model vs and older models vs building another custom rifle with new barreled action and custom chassis.
I usually shoot steel plates prone or bench at my home property (750 yard max when the corn is down). I currently have not attended any formal matches of any sort but may be interested in a few different types of matches at some time in the future. I shoot both factory match ammo and I also reload to factory OAL with my .308 cartridges and I expect to do the same with the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridges once I purchase the chassis based rifle.
Thanks in advance for any input and I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere on the Hide (if so please feel free to direct me to the correct thread)……Ray
