That thing is bad. I also approve of your beverage selections

“Build” is a stretch, but here’s mine: set up for backcountry deer in the big, thick woods of the northeast.
T3x lite, with 20” chopped barrel, high desert bottom metal, hand painted stockys carbon stock, Leupold 2.5-8x scope. 7mm-08. I shoot 140 grain e-tips over a stout charge of Big Game. 6.85 pounds with scope.

Thanks, it took a while to get it to this point. Going to eventually drop it in a different stock with an adjustable cheek piece and try to find a scope that is a little lighter but still reliable.

And yeah, I Love me some bourbon, but finding anything allocated where I am is tough.

Just got my latest build together. Left hand 6.5cm. Barrel is 20" of unknown manufacture but shoots absolutely lights out. Loves 127lrx at 2900 fps. Vx3 4.5-14 in talleys. Stockys vg. 7lbs 7oz the way it sits.

 

[hunterjmj]

Just dropped mine off to lose 4" of barrel and get threads. I believe my rifle with scope is 7lbs 11oz as it is now. I'd like to get it a bit under 7 lbs. without a can. I think with losing 4" and replacing the stock with a blacktooth I can get there.

Wife just bought an Omega 300 and I just ordered a tikka 243 in lefty for my daughter so the stock may have to be a next year project.

Still in the break in phase....

25 prc. 23.25". PBB.

Nx8, peak 44. Tbac 9 w/419 adapter. (First rounds with hellfire match)

9# no mag no bipod.

Adg, cci200, n565. 58 gr getting just over 3000.

Probably going to bed and rattle can it this week

Added some paint.. still working out the kinks/breaking in.

Shot 40 more shots yesterday. First dozen averaged 2963. Last 13 averaged 3000. I still get a velocity outlier here and there sk my es is trash. Going to chalk it up to new brass and still breaking in.

25 prc.
23.25" PBB barrel thats throated tragically short. Coal 2.900" at 0.050" jump with 135s.

The batch mentioned above was just loaded at 57 gr of n565 to burn some powder. I hit pressure signs around 58.3-58.5.

My Instagram worthy group of the day.

690 yards. Stacked two. The third dropped out right. 16" square.

That's a sexy beast! Love the topo pattern and colors.

Took family pics this am. Left to right
308
6.5cm
280 ai
22-250 ai
they are all shooters. I also have a couple other barrels in .243,22-250,and 6.5x55 that I can spin on when I get bored. I could use a better scope on the 308 but the old bushnell elite has proven itself to be reliable.

Very nice-looking rifle.

Here’s my TRG-wannabe 223:

Factory 8 twist barrel cut to 18”, threaded, and cerakoted black
KRG Echo
SWFA 3-15 Gen 2
UM Tikka rings
AB A-10 7.62 suppressor

Edit: She’s an absolute tack driver as well! Loves 75 ELD-M, 77 TMK, and 80 ELD. In doing a powder ladder to find pressure, 5 shots were .75” with a 2.5 grain powder spread. When I bought the barrel from Ben, he had a first round impact on a 2’ diameter patch of snow at 1,320 yards.

Good to see water mags work in these, I was unaware. Or forgot.

 

[Q_Sertorius]

Slowly working my way towards the semi-custom Tikka of my dreams. I got a nice walnut stock to replace the plastic one until my wooden Rokstok lite is ready.

Tikka T3 stainless, 1:10” twist .223, cut to 16.1”
Steel lug
Metal bolt shroud
PR Precision stainless steel bottom metal
