Well it took a lot longer than I thought and probably will be as long before I can shoot it.Builder told me it would hold 3/4 inch at 400 meters!
Data:
6.5 Creedmoor
Shelein barrel Macmillian varmiter stock
Leupold Mk 4 Scope with extra lens shades added
Titanium pillar posts and Titanium Dev-con bedding
1 1/2 pound trigger pull

Re: Finally received It
Nice, Great looking rifle and I'm sure it will make a great long distance plan to reach out and touch something. 
Get us a range report once your able to. Also have you ever looked into using killflash ard it eliminates the long sunshades. I like them less weight n bulk.

Re: Finally received It
Have a Question about it?
Was asked why I did not have a muzzle brake put on it?
Have never had one so could not comment about it.
What if anything good does one do.
Only thing I have ever seen is blowing the papers off of the next shooting bench.
Not adverse to installing one if it is a worthwhile project.

Re: Finally received It
It can help reduce some felt recoil and get back on target for fast follow up shots. Also if flash is an issue for low light shooting a flash hider can help keep your night vision from complete flash blindness also to get back on target for follow up shots. Even my long distance plan is without either a break or hider. I figure if I miss that bad it wasn't meant to be. I speak of two different devices for muzzle flash hider and muzzle brake. I have not seen many of options that are able to do both well but there are some out that claim to.
