I recently acquired a 2nd hand Accurate Ordinance 6.5 Creedmoor build.
Bought it from Justin Brady in KS via the for sale section on this site.
Gun was exactly as described, shipped promptly and packed as if he was shipping the gun to himself.
Justin, Thanks again sir, you are a gentleman.
On to the rifle.
AIAX chassis, Pierce Action, Xtreme trigger, Rock Creek 24" bbl with a brake on it (forgot the mfg). Brake added after purchase.
I added, Bushnell 3.5-21 HDMR with G2 reticle, Spuhr 20 moa 34mm mount, Atlas A10 bipod.
100 rounds through it as of today thanks to my screw up in trying to set the zero stop on the scope, I wasted about 50 rounds getting things back on line and general screwing around resetting the scope to get my eye relief right without raring back and tightening my neck.
Got it all settled in, bore sighted the scope at 50, shot a round and was high and a little left, moved cross hairs from original POA to hole, forgetting I had a mil dot scope and fired another. Better but low, took a measurement this time with the reticle, damn I like FFP, and put 2 more right into the x-ring.
On to 100, Ballistic AE told me I needed 4.7 0.1mrad clicks down, I went 5 and called good enough, head wind blowing 5 mph and moderate rain at bat 70 deg. 120-Amax Hornady out of the box. 4 corner bulls on the target, every one at least 2 shots in the x-ring, 0.410 best of the 4 with an average group size of 0.6755 for the 5 shot strings.
As soon as I get my position and breathing better, I expect things to tighten way up from there.
A lot of snapping in coming this week.
Thanks AO for building a hammer.
