Can you share what profile your barrel is?

It is their hybrid light contour.

Have killed several bucks with this rifle and it is also the most accurate and best feeding rifle I’ve ever owned. 30-06 stainless T3x. I had it bedded by Tumbleweeds Custom Guns in a Stocky Hunter stock. I didn’t love the fit direct from Stocky’s and as you can see Mark’s bedding is impeccable. Also first go with UM rings. I can’t imagine I’d go back to anything else.

Little slow with ELD-X but the rifle is the most consistent accuracy wise I have ever owned. Packing up for Mule Deer.

That looks really good. Did you happen to do an accuracy test before and after bedding the rifle? And if so, did it improve?

Rifle was dead nuts with the factory stock and 180 TTSX. I switched stocks to save weight and went with Eld-x. I never shot the stocky without bedding because in my opinion the fit sucks without bedding. It clearly rubbed one side of the barrel. It drops in like a custom rifle now with equal clearance on both sides.

Lefty T3X, .280 AI stainless Ace barrel 1:9 twist, Stocky’s Hunter blemish with rattle can and sponge paint job, Maven CRS2 4-16. Shoots 3/4” with factory Terminal Ascent.

I don't think I've posted this one in its finished state which it finally is in. 6.5x55 or 22-250 depending on season. Both barrels are extremely accurate. X55 likes the 143 eldx at 2880fps.

If you reload can you PM load data? Had trouble getting those to shoot.

My kinda morning!

My kinda morning!

Even complete with the Tim Hortons!

My kinda morning!

It was hard to keep the scopes clear but I did what I needed to do. Could just barely see 100m.

I decided to put the 7mm08 into a KRG Echo that I got for a steal. I prefer the slimmer profile vs the Bravo, but the weight saving is negligible. The ergonomics seem to be spot on, but there is a small amount of forend flex. Range time will be the deciding factor.

This rifle is a factory 6.5 PRC Tikka T3x Lite cut to 20" and threaded 9/16-24, set in a Stocky's Rokstok. I'm shooting a Silencerco Omega 36M suppressor fitted with an LS Wild cover, mounted on an Area419 Hellfire adapter. The stock is fitted with a Lumley Arms (Arctic) bottom metal and an Unknown Munitions bolt knob/handle. An SWFA 3-15x42mm gen 2 scope sits atop, mounted in UM medium rings and bubble level. I am currently using a Wilderness Systems Langlois Rhodesian Sling, but would prefer something with a non-slip shoulder pad.

I was having difficulty getting behind this rifle, until I added a Limbsaver Slip-on recoil pad to add some LOP to the stock. Looks like this stock needs to go back to UM for a spacer kit. This rifle comes fresh from the field with a "custom" ding in the objective bell and a touch of surface rust finish, after harvesting a spike bull .

It’s factory eld-x

Ran outta time to load for my 6.5x284 build earlier in the thread prior to MT general/rifle, so swapped the stock/scope onto a different barreled action that will see more use.

18" 223
Stockys VG2 Cerakoted and textured
Bushy LRTS 3-12
Harvester Evo
High mountain bottom metal.

Just got it back today. Tikka T3X re-barreled to 6.5 PRC with an IBI Mountain Lite barrel (IBI is local to me). Bead blasted and fluted bolt. The olive drab vertical grip and wide fore end came with the donor, not sure if it will stay. May try a Rokstock when they get back in stock.

Update. Now sitting in a Rokstock. Vortex LHT in Sportsmatch rings.
