X-ring Accuracy 6.5x47

[Roland A.D.]

Have been doing some load devlopment with my new rifle. Woody from X-ring gave me a good starting point considering the proof firing produced .016 3 shot groups. My 5 shot groups with the load I went with measured .086 at 100 .196 at 200 and .386 at 300 all groups were shot from a bipod and rear bag. Seems to me like this is a little better than the norm. All and all cant beat x-ring for customer service and it's looking like the rifles may be even harder to beat. I'm now a big fan so Let me know if this is normal guys I'm looking for feedback since this is my first custom rifle build.

 

[Beepy]

I would say stay with the proof loads and call it good

 

[robp5t]

Woody builds a great rifle no doubt and is very friendly on the phone. I have two of his rifles now and waiting for the rest of my parts for my 300 win mag now. One of the guys at our local range has a 6.5x47 Woody built and it shoots lights out as well, congrats on your rifle as well.

 

[Boltfluter]

Looks like Woody builds an awesome stick. Great guy to work with to.

Thanks for the kind words. I see a 6.5X284 in your future . Happy shooting. Woody

I have a build from Woody as well, a .308 built on a 700 action I supplied, everything else came from "X" and this rifle is a shooter. I have stood ground with every rifle I have put it up against (I am the limiting factor) SO back to the OP question, yes this is normal for Woody built rifles. Nice rifle and happy shooting!

[308Gunner]

Nice rifle, I too would call that good.

 

[Roland A.D.]

Can't wait to see what it will do when I learn how to shoot. Lol

 

[xringaccuracy]

Do any load development yet?

 

[Roland A.D.]

I have. Took your advise and went + .010 jammed and got remove the bone head push and that's 4 shots at .193 at 300yds (see the group with the 4 next to it that's 4 shots)that pretty solid and beats most bench rest guns shooting free recoil. might I remind you I was shooting prone from a Harris bipod. You find me another smith that builds a tactical rifle that can beat the bench rest guys who use $1000.00 rests and I'll give you my gun!

Woody does great work and I have a couple real shooters from him. He is awesome and my 4 yr old always wants to go ride on his tractor.

You might want to reconsider your last statement though........lol

Ok maybe I should have said beat them and out shoot my rifle, it's a hammer

 

[Doc68]

That there Sir is some spectacular shooting. Very nice!

 

[xringaccuracy]

I bet his wife did the shooting

 

[Roland A.D.]

Taught her well my friend.

 

[Sniper260]

I wish my custom 260 would shoot like that... I may be rechambering it into a 47 before long if it keeps being a pain..

 

[Roland A.D.]

Send it to Woody at xring he will make sure it shoots.

 

[Roland A.D.]

Headed to the range tomorrow. lets see what she will do at 600 and 1000

 

[Roland A.D.]

No takers on the beat it and it's yours deal?

 

[kyhuntclub]

If you wasnt all the way in FL I would take that rifle from you. I also have a x47 tactical match rifle that will run with yours.

In my opinion that round is inherantly accurate. A bad load in mine is still 1/2 minute.

Try some 130 VLD's and 37.2 varget. I am running at 2966 with SD of 11 with that load

 

[xringaccuracy]

6.5X47 Lapua is an inherently accurate round. His particular rifle loves them jambed, I only know as we worked up an stupid accurate round. Its all good

 

[FN in MT]

I can't compare to your groups, but then again my 60+ year old eyes are failing me so it's ME not my rifle.

Working up loads the agg of 16 , 4 shot groups was .461" . I can do one holers for 3-4 shots at 100 but seem to always blow the group into the .2's or .3's with my 5th shot.

At 300 yds I simply can not see the target well enough even with a 25X NF scope. I'm 1.5" on average. The cartridge and stick is capable....I'm not.

Though I did stick three shots into just under 7" at 1240 yds the other day. I was giddy for a few days. That's some good shooting for my failing eyes. LOL.

VERY impressive shooting Roland...Very impressive for sure.

Great shooting!
This rifle can be a real contender in 6 groups shootout! http://www.snipershide.com/shooting...ound4-**-100yard-6group-30round-shootout.html

 

[Roland A.D.]

Can't wait to see what it will do in good calm conditions hope to see it around 1", if I'm lucky maybe less

 

[Roland A.D.]

.833 @ 600yds

She's a laser. Give X-ring a call and you too can go sub 1" at 600yds

 

[DetroitRearView]

Love the 6.5x47

I do more hunting than shooting for groups, so I do a lot of single, cold bore shots at various ranges and field positions. Here is one from the other day @1095 yds, multi wind directions and lift...not going to do that every time, but the setup is simply more accurate than my abilities to deliver.

 

[Roland A.D.]

hell of a shot

 

[JoshcBoucher]

WOW! Nice gun, and GREAT shooting! Seems, now, everyone wants a Woody!!! Hope none of the guys beat your woody!

 

[Boxcar]

Very nice shooting! Impressive indeed.

It really gives evidence towards defeating the myth that the 47's can't handle the 140's

 

[Roland A.D.]

It's all about the twist. You have to run a 8.5 to shoot 140's. Sounds crazy but as you can see it works.

 

[Forgetful Coyote]

No doubt the 6.5x47 or 6x47 Lapua are right up there with the 6 Dasher, with a little more horsepower to go along with it.

Bench Rest Match Results

This is for all the tactical rifles and smiths who build them.

I have heard it all, tac rifles aren't as accurate as bench rest rifles, you have to have this and that, you must do all these things to be competitive in bench rest. I use a rest and made my self some adaptors for my A5 but I refuse to stop shouldering and gripping the rifle, i have to re-adjust my rest after every shot but I'm fine with that.

Results from last three BR matches at Manatee:

600yd Gong: Tied for 1ST (choked in a shoot off)
1000yd Gong: 1ST
600yd Williamsport Match: 1ST

She is a Beast,

If you think about what Tactical rifles are built for and the things can endure its amazing the accuracy they are capable of. I have never experienced combat and have the upmost respect for those who serve and have served (forever in debt to you all). From the manufacturing of parts to the gunsmith who makes it all come together the quality and craftsmanship is 2nd to none.

Now for all you local guys, check out the match schedule at manateegunclub.com and come out and compete.

 

[FN in MT]

I'll bet you are driving the bench rest crowd CRAZY. LOL.

 

[MarshallDodge]

Great rifle and solid shooting! The 6.5 x47 is a great caliber.

Those are brave words...It can be embarrassing taking it to Kelblys and trying to prove it with them top dogs in that game...just my .2

Damn! You're good, no two ways about it. I'd love to be able to shoot mine that well, but you sir have given me something to aspire towards.
