I really enjoy it. Took it out today for some 600yd shooting. Put about 40 rounds of 6.5CM through it. Then swapped to 6XC shot about 40 rounds then went back to 6.5 and confirmed zero at 100 and within .2 mil.
The only gripe I have is that I have a single pin for the lug. I wish I had 2 pins as the lug wobbles when removing and installing barrels. Once the shoulder seats it’s dead center. Just a small nit pick.
I probably won’t bring both barrels to the range very often once I finish load development. Just too much to deal with. I’ll just pick a barrel and go shoot that caliber for the day.
My first rifle build - "sleeper" R700 Gen2 300WM - nothing fancy, not much to look at, no extra attention at the range - 5/8" groups with 208 ELDMs. Taught me a lot about what I want for my next build.
Just finished up. On to load development...

Yep, factory 24" 5R. 275± rounds and I'm still trying to figure it out though. It's OK with everything for three rounds, but I'm looking for good five round minimum, good paced groups. 75g H1000 0.030 off the lands got me that group. I'll have to duplicate that a few times before I settle on it.

I brought the savage 11 out of retirement!
With a SFP scope even
This is the how the rifle was when I broke my 1000 yard cherry except the magpul bipod and it’s third prefit barrel has a threaded muzzle with a heathen brake.
I really do need to update the scope, after running decent glass for a while this glass leaves something to be desired for sure.

The weather and time hasn’t lined up yet for testing unfortunately. Hoping I can get it out soon.

Took my 6mm Creedmoor out today. This is such a fun rifle to shoot, even if I am only shooting it to 450yrds at the local range.
Took a few hours on the range today. Trying out the Ase Utra muzzle brake. It does a good job on taming the .300 winmag, but I run both earplugs and ear pros to keep safe from the blast, cos it is loud as F*CK.
Found some more pics from when I first got it, with a sample target. Just a quick loading of SMK and Varget.

My old man and grandfather used to plant and manage out there.
I’ll be scouting there again soon.
I found some nice out to 600 yard opportunities but have a couple spots I need to check for longer shots.
