I'm in the same boat as ArmyJerry. I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Armalite SASS or LMT MWS. I can't afford an OBR, SR-25, or GAP 10. I'm a lefty, and I will be shooting mostly suppressed. I don't need ambi controls, but the adjustable gas block on the SASS is a big plus. I've read...

Re: 6.5 Creedmoor Qs Yes it's Mark's action, the Defiance Alpha 11. Sorry I misread your question, dvdt.

Re: 6.5 Creedmoor Qs Yep that's the 6.5 CM Mark built. It came in today. I'll take it out this weekend.

Re: 6.5 Creedmoor Qs I got the rifle in. Here's a pic. Yep I'm a lefty. The bipod was late arriving but is en route. It's the AICS spigot type. I also ordered a chrono. I went with the Shooting Chrony F1. I think it will suit my needs.

Re: 6.5 Creedmoor Qs A wealth of info! Thanks gents.

Re: 6.5 Creedmoor Qs I'm tinkering with the Shooter app as we speak. It's definitely less complicated than the Ballistics app. dvdt, I'm glad to hear that about the rifle. I'm dying to go shoot mine. Hopefully the weather will cooperate next weekend. I hope to get this thing chrono'd at some...

Re: 6.5 Creedmoor Qs Thanks for the info. Dieselgeek, nice rifle. I just downloaded the Shooter app as well. I'll take a look at it. It sounds like I'll definitely have to chrono it if it hasn't been done already. I'll post pics when I get the rifle. Barrel is as previously stated with...

I'll have my custom 6.5 Creedmoor in next week. It was built by Mark at SAC. The barrel is a Bartlein M40 1/8 twist 24". I'm looking to shoot the factory Hornady AMAX 140s initially, until I start reloading. It seems like the 140s are preferred in most cases for the 6.5 CM. For you 6.5 CM...

Re: caliber selection Gents, I really appreciate all the information. I think all the calibers listed above are great choices. With all the info I've collected, I'm leaning towards the 6.5 CM. I realize it's overbore, and I'll burn through barrels much faster, but there's factory match ammo...

Re: caliber selection <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: fdkay</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> If you are going the custom route, you will eventually reload. </div></div> You're right. Whatever caliber I decide I will eventually reload, but probably...

Re: caliber selection Scooter, I really appreciate the down and dirty info. The 6mmbr website also has some great info. I looked more into the .243. Apparently George at GAP called it his holy grail of competition rifles a few years back. The only major negative I see so far with the .243 is...

Re: caliber selection I will do more research on the .243, .260, and .284. Those are all possibilities. I hear the 6.5 is a great round, but comparatively speaking, you go through barrels much faster. Of these rounds, in terms of BC, overall ballistics, and availability of factory match...

Re: caliber selection Thanks guys for the recommendations. That's exactly the info I was looking for. I guess I should have said .308 isn't out of the picture either. I own a .308. It's a great rifle, but I wouldn't call it my long distance tack driver. That being said, a custom .308 may fill...

I'm dead set on having my first custom rifle built. I've had the chance to shoot different stocks and I'm pretty set on the AICS 1.5. The thumbhole stock just feels natural to me. However, I'm still undecided on the caliber. I don't reload. It's something I'd eventually like to start but just...

I just installed a Farrell base on my 700 XCR compact. This is the first Farrell base I've installed, and the first base that gave me a little trouble. It seemed like the front screw hole was a little off-centered versus the other three holes. Also, all four screws are the same length, but the...
