That a proof pre fit and origin?

Yeah, I shot my 7 SAUM last year in a match. I had a 6.5 CM proof spun up for this year.

How does it shoot? I’m looking at building a rifle for NRL Hunter. I was thinking Bighorn TL3 or Origin with proof pre fit and hnt26. I’m wondering if I’d be better off having a proof chambered by a smith though?

Prefits I have bought from Proof, Preferred, Criterion, and Shillen have all shot very well.

Havak hit pro 6.5, SRS ti brake, nx8 4-32 mil xt, nf rings, vortex level.

Want to find a bipod with 19.4 oz to spare. The scale pic is rifle, scope setup, brake.

The Harris is fine I just know I ran into issues last year at Cody with the up hill stuff and had to go tripod instead of just raising a bipod taller. It's not that big of a deal I don't mind shooting tripod but it sure saves time just making legs longer vs deploying a tripod.

Thinking atlas cal bt69, any opinions?

If I ever have the opportunity, this is what I’ll take. Ruger American in 6.5 Creedmoor around 2500 with factory 147’s.
15# and 13 ounces the way it sits.

Will that make the power factor?

Doesn’t need to if it’s 6.5 factory ammo with 130 or heavier bullets.

Sako S20 precision 6.5 CM, SWFA 3-15, MtnGear bipod, and TBAC Ultra 5. Pushing 130 Bergers at 2850. Weighs 11.6 lbs without the magazine.

I know that treestand. Are you going to more matches there this year?

What you running for powder to get those speeds? Or is it a 26in barrel?

Ended up with a warne skyline lite. So far so good, I had to lube the pivots today the dust had built up and one leg wouldn't unlock to deploy. only issue I had with it so far has been solid for a few hundred rds.

24” factory. Loaded very long (~2.94”) w/superformance. Get same with RL26 too.

Goes higher but backed off to match partners speed.

Never did the math but probably not. As @wind gypsy pointed out, I would be using factory ammo. Also planned on being in the skills (I think this is what it’s called) division so no real restrictions and no points kept. I’d just like to shoot one.

But, I’ve since sold that rifle. So now it would be a 223 American in the same stock. Probably same scope.

I recognize that tree branch. Stupid wolves.

 

[ChrisAU]

Open heavy. Completely lost my want to use a hunting-ish rifle after my first competition in open light

Sooo simple….once you saw them all in a neat little row on the cliff. Dang those wolves!!

Open light 25 creed

 

[BassNBrass]

A Tikka factory action is light and hard to beat feel wise. Also as long as you stick to a short action capable caliber i.e. 6.5 creed for NRL you have a bunch of excellent chassis options from all the big names. Long action not so much as I've found out haha.
