This is pretty close to the actual color. Mark's machining is top notch. Hope to have a suppressor mounted up soon

Here's the build:

Badger M2008
Badger M-5 DBM
Bartien 24" Thd bbl(which supressor is TBD)
Jewel trigger
Manners T4A
Vortex Razor 5-20x50
Vortex Razor 35mm rings
Cerakote finish


Mark over at Short Action Customs AKA US Handgunner here on the hide did the work. His CS is fan-freaking-tastic, his prices are excellent and his turnaround is blazing. Also, any suggestions on a suppressor for this thing would be appreciated! Hope to have a range report this Saturday.

Here's Marks Info:

Re: New 6.5 Creedmoor on a Badger M2008 buil by S.A.C.

AAC Cyclone. Quietest for .308, no reason it shouldn't be great on a 6.5.

Lol, thanks Mark. Guys Mark is really great to deal with, a great smith and has even better customer service. Need just about any work done call him up he'll hook you up FAST! Mark "Flash" Gordon is his new name. Seriously give him a call he could use our help to get started anyhow.

Re: New 6.5 Creedmoor on a Badger M2008 buil by S.

In the words of Borat, "Very Nice."

+1 for 6.5 too, regardless of which case is pushing it. (Creedmoor is great)
 
Re: New 6.5 Creedmoor on a Badger M2008 buil by S.

Nice rig congrats and welcome to the Creedmoor family!!

Re: New 6.5 Creedmoor on a Badger M2008 buil by S.

Very Nice!!

Well, I really like the shorter bolt throw alot. I like that I can swap bolt knobs on a whim. I need to work the bolt a bit to work the cerakote its a pretty tight fit right now but there is less "chatter" than the Templar. I think this baby is gonna be a hammer. loading up some Amax's and Scenars 140's and 139's and hopefully bust a mulie this weekend.

got skunked on the Mulies today, saw several just none I wanted to shoot bad enough to clean. had a good time though. Now I gotta study for my state FF certification! I've gotta job as long as I pass that sucker!
 
Re: New 6.5 Creedmoor on a Badger M2008 buil by S.

Good luck Hunter, on the mulies and more importantly on your certification!!

thanks buddy
 
Re: New 6.5 Creedmoor on a Badger M2008 buil by S.

Range update:

best group of the day with most being very similar: .180moa 3rnd group 4th and 5th shot opened it up to .38moa. All shot at 200yds. I'd say it's a hammer. Thanks again Mark(US Handgunner owner of Short Action Customs) for building the most precise rifle I've owned.
 
Re: New 6.5 Creedmoor on a Badger M2008 buil by S.

I like your new rifle Hunter. The BO action is rather robust.

I still haven't had a chance to re-stock the barreled action yet. Maybe New Year's week.

Get to it! That thing is a hammer too.
