Just had this rifle built recently and worked with the smith on it to learn how to build as the project went along. I have been testing some loads with it today and it seems to shoot pretty good. These were all 3 shot groups though. Two 3 shot groups in a row with each load starting top with the top left target which was the first rounds out of the gun today:

(All groups shot at 100 yd off bipod and rear bag)

Top row of groups from left to right: 80g berger 31g varget, 80g berger 32 varget, 105 vld berger 29.5 varget

Bottom row of groups from left to right: 105 vld berger 31 varget, 108 berger 30.5 varget, 108 berger 31.3 varget

Re: My new 6 br

Wow.....very nice shooting....I wish I could get my .308 to shoot like that. Looks like 80gr bergers with 32 gr varget works the best. Try shooting 5 shot groups to see if you can keep the groups that small. ;-)
 
Re: My new 6 br

You'll be happy with combination of round, action and barrel for a long time.

Is that a MAster Class stock?

looks great!!
 
Re: My new 6 br

The more varget I feed my 6br the more it likes it. My groups got the tighest near my max load. I'm running 31.7gr of Varget behind a 105vld. Good looking gun. Enjoy the BR.
 
Re: My new 6 br

Hard to beat a 6BR!I like that stock better than most I see!Good choice on the action but be careful getting dust in it when shooting prone in the dirt.Locks em up sometimes.
