I have finally found enough time to start working on my new F Class type rifle. The caliber is a 6mm RAT, designed by hide member Krebaum, and built by Lee Wells of Accurate and Reliable rifles. Both of these guys are outstanding people and I highly recommend either of them. The 6mm RAT is a 6.5 Grendel which is necked down to a 6mm bullet. The neck is then blown forward .075 inches and the shoulder set to 40 degrees. I have not even shot this rifle yet, but anticipating in the 2800-2900 range with the 107 Sierra Match Kings.
The upper is a heavy wall billet with a side charger. The barrel is a 26.5 inch Satern SS 1:8 twist. The float tube is a WOA. There is an AR Gold trigger inside and a 20 MOA EGW base underneath the Larue mount that holds the 12-42x56 NightForce BR scope that has an R2 reticle inside. Magpul grip and Magpul PRS stock. Sits on top of a 6-9 Harris swivel with notched legs. Paint is duracoat and was sprayed by myself. I may add a bit more "flair" to it with logos but it is pretty much where I wanted it here. Thanks also goes out to DebosDave of the hide who is helping me with hydroforming the brass to avoid having to fireform.
I am liking this thing thus far and will be load developing and shooting over the summer and hope to shoot a comp or three within the coming year with it.
