Are you trying to outdo @mxgsfmdpx with that orange barrel?

Very nice. I like it.

Not trying to outdo him, but his cream cycle rifle was the reason I decided to go orange. That is still one of my favorites on here.

Roughtech Superlite in 6.5 cm with a Scythe Ti and a NF NXS 3.5-15 with UM lows. Stole the scope off my 7mm RM until I figure out what I want long term.

Hopefully I’ll be able to find a cap that will direct thread to their 15x1 thread pitch so I can ditch the adapter and save 3/4”.

Also have a Titan Cheek Riser and SRS ARCA + Pic on the way.

Haven’t shot it yet but plan to try some 140 & 147 gr ELD-M and 143 gr ELD-X and see what it likes best next week. This is my first 6.5. Super excited.

We've all heard of the .223 "Rokslide Special" (RSS) but I have a new concept: "The RSS Heavy" .308 Tikka. When I first got into hunting I wanted to replace my wife's 1970s .308 Remington and stuck with 308 since I didn't know anything. What was important to me was to have one rifle she & I could practice with for relatively cheap and hunt with at short ranges. I put a suppressor and the amazon $15 cheek riser and its a pleasure to shoot.

Federal Gold Medal Match 175s (Prone, Bipod & Rear Bag in the dirt):
Middle 3 rd (zero check after 50 yard bore sight and rough zero, got lucky and pretty much perfect)
Middle Top 5 rd
Top Right 8 rd (all I had left in the box)

Misc "Hunting Loads" and bulk ammo at Top Left, Bottom Left, Bottom Right. I know they are sinful 3 rd groups wanted to see if the rifle liked them.

I keep thinking I should pick up a Tikka 308, if nothing else its because I have something like 4k rounds of 147 fmj for a FAL that I never actually shoot.
