    Finally received my 6.5 CM build from Score High Gunsmiths in Albuquerque. Took about 12 months to receive it but well worth the wait. Sorry about the thumbnail pics and haven't figured how to get them to full size. Double click them for a better view.

    Very nice looking bang stick

    Very nice rifle, and shooting. Both something to be proud of. And I always like hearing about another good builder out there.

    Whats the velocity on that load?
     
    Believe the rifle weighs around 11 pounds but not sure since I have yet to weigh it. Measured velocity with an Oehler 35 was 2690 fps.
