GEISSELE MRGG 6.5 CREED WRITE UP AND REVIEW

Ran a couple of patches through the bore, and cleaned out the brass flakes in the receiver from initial break-in. Took the rifle back out today and refined my zero a bit, shot 10rd groups today, and tested for positional shift…. The rail does indeed flex a bit, and you can expect a bit of POI shift (0.2-0.3 mils) going from prone/bipod to bag/tripod.

Zero’d from modified prone. I have a ton of 130gr Norma golden target, and the rifle doesn’t seem to hate it too much. When I’m shooting with a bipod, I put zero load into the bipod and I pull the gun slightly rearward. I find that I shoot a lot more consistently this way.

Here are some 10 round groups, and velocities. Shot these relatively quickly, but should give you an idea of what the rifle’s true accuracy is. 40 rounds in just under 30 minutes, and 3-4 minutes with a chamber cooler after each 10 round group.

Now the interesting stuff… I’m seeing about a 0.1 mil shift in elevation downward when I place the bipod in the position closest to the magwell (running a single pull w/ BTC clamp). Shooting off a GC heavy fill bag (touching the magwell) exhibits a 0.3 mil shift down. Clipping into the tripod while sitting down gives me a 0.2 mil shift down. Would just ignore the standing/tripod group, since it’s my weakest position; I had some slight wobble and awful recoil management even though I took my time with the group.

Enjoy… open to discussion.
In terms of positional shift how does this stack up to other large frame gassers in your experience? Im assuming something like a lmt or jp would do well in this aspect. I also wonder if movement between the upper and lower receiver at the rear pivot pin when loading a bipod could also have an effect? This is just me thinking out loud.

Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

Friend of mine in Fort Worth at Crows liquor has a bottle of double eagle 🦅 very rare for sale at the store not secondary market.

Too rich for my blood but thought someone here might want it.

Manager's name is Brian.
Thanks for that…too rich for me as well, but I’m trying to put together a group buy with a couple guys from my wife’s office who are also huge bourbon aficionados. Hell, they have cut and polished Blanton’s bottles around the office as light fixtures! LoL

And I’ll be driving through there next Tuesday when we take our daughter back up for her last year of University…

Guess we’ll arm wrestle for the cap on that bottle of Double Eagle Very Rare if we buy it!

Rules: my “big” bottle of Eagle Rare:

What in the wide wide world of weird runic coding errors is going on with @doubloon ’s avatar??

Is this proof that the Interstellar object is a scouting ship and doubloon is one of the Pathfinders? Maybe they read the Voyager record and are coming to meet Chuck Berry.

Are the aliens going to be mad when Chuck is not here to play for them?

Should we be worried?

How to UNsubscribe from Solicitations I get via PM

Hello, I get regular solicitations from Snipershide to my Private Messages (conversations). I've never had this happen on any of the other forums I belong to. Does anyone/everyone else get these? How do I unsubscribe from this?

Hey OP - I just PM’d you about something…

Going from G3 1-10 to HD5 2-10?

Thank you for taking the time to drop in and reply.

I think that would fit well with the typical RnG 2 gun stages that have larger target sizes shot under physical stressors.

If FB tries one of these for his matches, I would like to hear feedback/AAR on how the glass worked for you.


That was our thinking as well and as mentioned earlier, was a major plus in our decision tree.


We have found this scope to be very easy to get a sharp reticle and good contrast against the target image at very close ranges when on the low end X.

Like you, I would not want it for anything CQB'ish where you might be maneuvering against angry meat with feet. For those adult games, I would be doing the huge FOV red dot with a high cap gasser mounted under it!

Thank you for taking the time to drop in and reply.
You did tag me...

My life got a bit busier than I'd like, so I am not on here as much as I used to be, but I do check notifications regularly.
