Thank you. I have a bore snake and I will run it through tonight. I’m going Sunday to see how it does. I don’t have match ammo but I used to make my own loads when I had my .223 so I’m sure I will eventually want to do it for this rifle to see it’s full potential. I love this site already. Again thank you for your replies
Just got my action back from dlc yesterday.

Just finished up my 300 PRC build.
I have and it shoots great! I just took it out on my last hunt but realized now I want a lighter rifle for carrying around! The rifle weighs roughly 14.5lbs.
That’s funny you said that about the weight because my new one weighs about 16lbs and I could not imagine carrying it any further than from the car to the benchrest
Yes it was definitely not much fun. I am currently looking at the Alamo Altitude rifle in 6.5 PRC for my lightweight rifle.
I have never heard of them. I just looked them up in the web and they look awesome and only 6.75 lbs WOW
Believe me if I had to carry it I could, but luckily I have a choice haha. Thank you for your service!
Started life as a Remington 700 5R
Now wears a Preferred barrel in 300WM
Rifle was built by Match Grade Machine
Jewell trigger
Shooting Berger Hybrid Target in 230 Grain
I always liked the KRG bravo chassis.
This is a fun, but painful start to some posts...
Have 3 gunsmiths that contacted me within literally 2 weeks saying my builds were ready.
First up, Ryan Pierce's 30-28 Nosler
Tomorrow hopefully will be the long wait one...

Old, old, incredibly old skool build. Rest of the parts are coming in. R700P 308. Floorplate, action screws, and cerakote should be in Friday.

Went out to try and test out this Rex Silentium MG7 on my 6 5 Creedmoor today... well and the weather changed and it started blowing and snowing... before we got very far. It sounds good and is really lite, just haven't got to shoot any groups with it, only been able to plink.

They are actually quite different, but it some how crazily takes on the colors of the truck... don't know how it does it but these were super cool pictures.
A new addition to the heard. Deep South Tactical 6mm Creedmoor, Impact 737R, Manners Mini Chassis.
Took the scope off the AX50 and installed it on here. It's way too high in the mount but, with the adjustable cheek piece it's manageable.
Bore sighted, 2 shots and on paper. Here's my first 5 shots @ 200 yards. It was VERY windy. Using factory Hornady 108 ELD M
One flyer to screw up the group of course.
My son on it as well.

This rifle is on pg-51 also, I updated the Scope from the pst-gen 2 / too the Vortex Razor G-II 4.5- 27x56 and few other small updates.. Also a quick pic of where I shoot in WV, 700 yds to the wood line and a final pic of all the kids posing for the family picture..
Whenever the ATF gets around to it, Can's for all the kids... Well except the knife.. ;-) 10 months and counting.. grrrrr

Dude, we all want to know. What do you do for a living? And are you adopting?
I don't know, man. It seems like there is just too much black on that rifle. It sticks out like a sore di-uh thumb on that vehicle. Maybe add some black to the vehicle?
I'm semi retired. 
And as mentioned in the AI thread, I'm willing to adopt if your fairly near by with some land to stretch out the heard on.

My Steyr SSG04 in .308 with its strange looking magazine, a 4-lug bolt and a beautiful "twisted" barrel. Sightron 45x scope on it.
Impact 737r in PDC gen 5 area 419 did barrel in 6mm creedmoor and rpr in 6mm for a practice gun target is from break in on the impact
Yes I’ve gone a little overboard with custom precision rifles and cans. My first full custom rifle was a GA Precision Rock 300WSM that’s stupid accurate and I haven’t even completed the break in process for the barrel. From there it’s 280 AI , 6.5x280AI, 6.5 CM and 6 CM. Currently having a 6.5PRC built. So you could say I like 6.5mm calibers.

Hey Willie how long a barrel do you have on that WSM 300 and what kind of velocities are you getting
Bighorn origin action with a bartlein 7.5 twist. 6.5 creedmoor chambered by Marc @ Spartan rifles. It's probably the most accurate rifle I've ever owned. Just some random loads with 140gr RDF's.

You have some kickass setups. Do you feel that S&B ultra bright scope is a lot brighter in lower light conditions than the rest?
Some great looking rigs here!

Shot this again today with my son. We brought a Mausenfield too but ran out of time setting it up.
S&B 5x45, Eratac mount. It's too high but usable with the adjustable cheek piece.
Minus the dime

Finally up and running, just in time for opening day of rifle season for white tail deer in WV. Has an ADL box mag made to be Kypherpass functional in a BDL. Getting the floorplate cerakoted OD after the season is over. Same 700p action, HS precision sa m24 stock, RHR machined floorplate. Pulled it out of a chassis. Much more comfortable to shoot. Very very light skim bed.
Still have my buck stamp. Meat is better than no meat.
And finally done. Tossed the ADL box and replaced witha good bdl box provided by @rlr. I really appreciate it.

Budget build that started as a Brownells' sale Howa barreled action in 6mm Creedmoor. I was pretty sure this was just going to be the appetizer before I put together a "real" rifle, but now I think it might just be a matter of rebarreling it (900 rounds on it) and just shooting it for a while. I can upgrade as I go if/when I want to.
It wasn't too long ago when a guy couldn't get a good mid-priced scope for what this thing cost to put together...

Sorry i’m replying back so late but just saw this so i’ll take a stab at your question. First, i haven’t even completed the break in process that GA Precision recommended. It’s a Rock full custom with upgraded components, the barrel is a Bartlein deep fluted and 25”. Hornady PH 200gr eldx with can almost 2875 and Copper Creek 185 Berger around 2950. Everything i put through groups tight. But i’ve gotten where i prefer shooting my 6.5CM, especially deer hunting. The short Carbon barrel makes it easier to move around with a can on the end.
sorry for the late reply, i can honestly say that i can’t see the huge difference between any of these optics as far as low light transmission. I do a lot of hunting and deer management on my farm, just this weekend i put those scopes to that test. Hunting over a 55 acre bean field let enough natural light come in to the scopes. Using a NX8 2.5-20 i would cut the magnification down to 15-18 and to get the performance from the PMII Ultra Bright i would have to drop from 16 to 14x to get equal or maybe a little more light. But the big price difference isn’t worth it to me. I also learned a valuable lesson, always set your zero stop! Missed a couple doe at 450 and 500 because i had dialed for a 700 yard shot yesterday morning and forgot to turn back! So when i added another 40 clicks i was up 130 for a shot at 450!
It seems you and I put our scopes through similar use. Even though I like to bang steel, I do a lot of hunting. When I purchase a scope, I have that in mind. I like to hunt at night time too for pigs. I managed to kill one a few days ago at night using only ambient light. That is the reason I ask about the ultra bright.
And damn, sorry to hear about your missed shot. Definitely pay attention to where you are on your elevation...
Took this out today, ARC Mausingfield with my S&B 5x45 on it. Bore sighted and my first 5 on paper using factory Hornady AG @ 200 yards.
Here's mine... although I'm thinking about selling her. Wanna try something different. COVID has made me crazy so I'm gonna try a Manners TCS I think. Although I do love this rifle... don't know yet.

Lovely looking rifle. Those foundation stocks are super. I'd like another
Plus, Impact is a great action. Keep the thing!
