6.5 SAUM (GAP 4s) build finished up.

[7mmRM]

Squeezed out a little time in the shop to build my personal 6.5 SAUM. I went a little different direction than a hunting rifle. I can see myself chambering up a hunting rifle!!

Barely 50 rounds down the pipe and I'm hooked! No recoil, and flat hammers!! Big thanks to George, Pat, Scott and everyone else involved in doing the leg work to be this going.

Specs-

Trued 700
PTG bolt with Sako extractor
Badger lug
M24 contour Krieger 1-8.5 @26"
Schuler brake
Jewell trigger
Badger 20 moa rail
PTG dbm with Alpha mags
Seekins rings
Bushnell G2DMR
Pillar and glass bedded in an old A4
Cerakote in graphite black

Shot of the rifle from today's "break in"...

First 4 down the pipe... 130 JLKs / 63 grns of H1000

With its near twin.. my 260 comp rig.

How fast are you pushing those JLK's?

You did your own plumbing work? Very nice, man! What are your smithing fees?

That's one fine looking rifle.

Clean build, really nice!

 

[7mmRM]

Pusher, they are running in the 3200ish range, per my chrono. That number jived fine to the longest plate on my range, which is 580.


Papa, yes I do all my plumbing.....

No no, the 7mmRM is still comfortably at "home"...

 

[clinto]

what brand of brass did you use? Very nice rifle btw!

 

[jonthomps]

Very nice! McM woodland camo? The 6.5 is really taking off - best of all worlds... That sounds like a good GAP t-shirt:

"The 6.5 SAUM - making the world a better place."
