Snag N560 from Powder Valley and you will see a significant jump, I was getting over 3100 from the 123 AH in an 18” 6.5 PRC.

I am back at it again... short barrel 308, work gun. I have a Manners for it that getting a mini chassis for it, but man it looks good in this Foundation.
New video is up of my new Ruger American Ranch 16" .300 Blackout bolt-action rifle shooting my handload 220 subs, comparing my Dead Air Sandman-S MIL Contract to my Otter Creek Labs Hydrogen-S.
I have a spare 26in 6.5 creed barrel that shoots pretty well but currently not using it except as a spare, thinking of cutting it down to make a compact short range deer hunter for inside 300 yards. It's a med palma contour so I think it could balance well on a Manners LRH in the 16-20in length. I'm thinking 18in right now ... any suggestions ? Most likely planning to use the factory Sako 156 Oryx which are devastating on game.
Thats a nice hunting combo. I love the 7mm-08 but went with a 7SAW on my latest 22in build defiance anTI, got 2 white tail bucks this fall with the 162s
This one leaves a lot of guys scratching their heads… it’s extremely fun to shoot.

Why? Makes perfect sense to me. The only way it could possibly make more sense is if it was integrally suppressed.This one leaves a lot of guys scratching their heads… it’s extremely fun to shoot.

Mostly the optic setup. I prefer the heads up/chin weld situation on walk-around rifles like this. Most people who’ve never shot one don’t understand the function.
Here’s my entry…
16” RAR in .300 BLK.
Wish it was 10.5”, but I’m not stamping this one. I’ll wait to see how the legislation pans-out with the whole SBR’s possibly getting removed from the registry thing, since numerous states have already passed local laws stating SBR/SBS/AOWs are legal there without ATF regulation. The more states follow suit, the less powerful the NFA and ATF become…Eventually nullifying the NFA. Same with the “Made in Texas” suppressor lawsuit against the ATF. Things are looking pretty good, but only time will tell…

As much as I wish the NFA was abolished, I fear you're going to be waiting a while. NFA isn't going anywhere, if anything it will get worse. Submissions right now for EF1 are running ~2 weeks (and they are now accepting electronic fingerprints). There has never been a better time to file a Form 1. There will be a brace ban eventually and, when that happens, wait times will increase dramatically due to sheer volume of submissions.
Here is what it sounds like with 196gr subs:

I don't think Form 1's will increase dramatically as most refuse to pay the stamp, play the waiting game or become part of a registry. Most will just accept having a standard length rifle.
Just spun up a 16" 22 Creed barrel for the new Archimedes action I got, hoping to go test out some loads shortly.
Not the best picture, but this is my 18" 6 Creed that I am using for coyotes this year. Put my Super Yoter on right after this picture was taken. Got 3 coyotes with it Sunday night.
What barrel contour is this and did you have to open up the barrel channel for it to fit?
I use it to clear the nearby benches at my local range

Considered something exactly like that, what’s the details on the barrel and who made the cheek piece cover?

Got her.I’m hoping to post a picture in this thread soon… I’m supposed to pick up a shorty R700 this weekend.
700 SPS tactical, 16.5” 308.
Previous owner told me “the action was worked,” so I assumed it was blue printed, but turns out it’s not. So I have no idea what the smith did to it. PO also said the trigger was lightened, but it feels like a factory 700 trigger to me.
I’m tempted to send it straight to @MikeRTacOps but I think I’m going to enjoy it like it is for a little while, and then begin the upgrades.
Cheapo Magpul stock is glass bedded, but it will be gone sooner than later.
I’m keeping my pride and joy mounted on this rifle, and hopefully soon it will be a rifle worthy of this piece of glass.

They are Vortex Precision Rings 35mm x 1.26" height on this setup, 20MOA rail. Seekins have the exact same rings just FYI. Think I have 4 Leupold MK5 all are setting in Vortex or Seekins rings in different heights depending on the rifle.
