Just got it today, it's still a virgin!

What's everyone doing for the "go to" primer for this chambering?

Did you stand over the box and clap your hands and yell 'cakes and pies cakes and pies cakes and pies' ??
I mean afterall MARK GORDON HIMSELF had his hands all over that thing!
Nice looking rig, as usual Short Action made another go-getter. Enjoy!

I actually saw Mark putting it together when I was up there last week. He sure knows how to build a fine stick

Great rifle

Re: Package from M. Gordon

I was fortunate enough to visit Mark last week to pick up my new TBAC 30P-1 (about 1.5 hr drive for me). While I was there, he threaded my barrel to the class 3 specs required by TBAC. The can threads onto that barrel in a very smooth manner with no hint of binding or slop - it is absolute perfection.

Mark was very accommodating and gauging from his craftsmanship on just my barrel threads, I'll bet that rifle is exquisite.

Congrats on the new stick, I've heard nothing but good things about Mark!

VIRGIN!!!! Dude, that's like getting married, and having sex a week after. I would have had my range bag by the door waiting on her to show up.

Congrats on a beautiful rifle.

Sweet!! Two of my favorite things, Benchmark barrel, and the 6.5x47 lapua. Good choice.
