Well, today I got out to our range and got a chance to try the Kireger/Timney/Remmy700/Competition Machine/Viper Vortex PST 6.5 Creedmoor rig out on targets at 330 yards, 425 yards, 550 yards and at 650 yards. The loads were 42 grains of RL-17 in Hornady cases, BR-2 Primers and Lapua Scenar 136L...

For the 6.5 Crredmore in the Eliseo Chassis, with the 26" Krieger "light" varmint barrel and a fairly heavy Viper PST 6.5-24 X 50 scope on it, it weighs 15.8 lbs and 14.5 pounds for the 6.5 X 55mm Scan with the same dimension Krieger barrel (but 1 inch longer) and a 6.5 - 20X Leupold target...

I DID get a 6.5 X 55mm put together....we call it a Scan rather than a Swede (it is the same except for the modern metallurgy so I can load to higher pressures than the old military stuff, but we didn't like the bolt...it was so short at the lugs by the time we got it square at the head that it...

Finally went out and shot it...a little windy and with me, who is not the best guy to have shoot for groups shooting, it is making somewhat under .5 MOA at 220 yards with the 42.5 grains of Rl17 and about the same with the 43 grainers...haven't measured the groups yet...(5 shot)...so I am just...

Neil? BREATHE DEEPLY??? RELAX??? ME?? :eek: I have already made reservations for a motel room in Ft. Morgan for the 21st through the 26th....I'm thinking NOW is better and if I should wind up having to cancel my res, that can always be done. We don't really want to camp as we both HIGHLY VALUE...

Do I have that all correct? Is it pretty safe to start making motel reservations NOW? I'm guessing it is best to be there the day before the match...is that a good guess? When does the shooters meeting/briefing happen...is it the night before or on the first morning? Lotta questions I know and...

OK...if that is WRITTEN IN STONE , we are going to start planning NOW!! Fort Morgan, CO...actually------ Where: Weldona, CO Exit 66A off I-76 and When: May 22-25, 2015 Do I have that all correct? Is it pretty safe to start making motel reservations NOW? Thanks!

Well, I am getting tired of reading about a match I have never gone to and shot, so like the title says...2015 SHC...where and when? Any plans?? My buddy and I have asked about 500 questions about how the stages were set up, etc, etc and if we can get time and money together next year WE WANNA...

I tend to put a 15 or 20 MOA rail on about anything I build and that most usually solves any elevation problems unless you are loading watermelons and launching them at 1000 fps.

It is not a BR gun...I will be using it for our Long Range Varmint matches...targets at 330, 420, 550 and 650 yards. The only way to do reasonably well in that match is to have a gun that shoots a ballistically good bullet into MAXIMUM about 1/2 MOA, though if you are REALLY good and LUCKY to...

I have looked at/through the Nightforces that my buddies have. Seems to me that it all depends upon what you get used to, but they tell me that there is some kind of big difference. However, I don't see it.....I like this PST because it is 1st focal plane and the turrets increments match the...

Yeah...I have always been a WOOD stock guy and recently switched to the synthetics. This is my first "Tube Gun" genre and I picked the color to give the whole rig a sort of "together" look rather than going with some kind of camo or desert/coyote color. At least it is NOT a "glue-in"!! Anyway...

I had no problem putting it all together following Gary Eliseo's instruction page, once I found it (I'm a dinosaur, I guess) I clamped the whole barreled action in my mill and opened up both the front and the back of the magazine slot so I can mag-load longer rounds..... (NOTE: the mag wouldn't...

I didn't get to go to the SHC, but from shooting here in the Nevada desert, I have learned this one.....Not really a SPOKEN sort of thing, but a grown man crying = The Wind just kicked my butt!!

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but I'm wondering what the possible scores were on each station and then what the total possible was.....

Anyone that picks a caliber because it "sounds cool" probably chooses/buys wine because it has a pretty label, too.:) Talk about the wrong reasons to pick something! But then, I am glad that there are people around like that because they give the rest of us something to chuckle about. This...

Yeah...that is exactly what I'm doing...use a mandrel setup from K & M.

I'm more of a match shooter but I do have several (well, according to my wife, WAY too many) hunting rigs, but my $.02 worth here would be to see if anyone you know has either setup...or maybe BOTH...and shoot them, handle them, see how they fit YOU and your shooting style. Then make your...

OK...thanks...I'll check it out!!

Has anyone on here installed and shot a Timney "Craig Elite" trigger yet? I have read some reviews, but don't trust anyone that takes advertising money as it seems like a conflict of interest. So, if anyone has tried one....how is it? all it is cracked up to be? Is it going to be competitive...
