This is my 2nd rifle from Dana English and I am excited about it. The first rifle was a .300 win mag "Hunting" rifle. He is shipping the 6.5x47 out Monday.

These are all from Dana's starting loads using 123 Scenars and Reloader 15. I will play with seating depths but 35.7 grains of Reloader 15 looks pretty good. I also have H4350, 130 Bergers, 140 Bergers and will be trying 140 Berger Hybrids out of it as well. I can't say enough about Dana. He is very good at what he does and super FAST. I sent him all parts for both rifles and both rifles were completed in under 6 weeks. That also includes sending my 300 win mag barrel off to be fluted after chambering it. He comes highly recommended by me and Robert Gradous.

The first picture is the weight of the scoped rifle.

Great looking rifle! Congratulations and lots of luck with it! Both of your projects turned out fantastic! I bet you cant wait for the big brown truck to get there.. I know I would be going nuts! Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!! They sure did Bob. I passed a young 8 ptr and dropped another doe with the 300 this morning.

Dana makes a NICE rifle. Congrats!

The 6.5 creedmoor he made me shoots in the 2's with factory ammo.
