Just thought I'd share some pics and info on the 6XC build I just got finished (if they ever finish, still got some stuff to change).
Rifle is an old 222 ADL that got a new bolt body from a 308, a stock from a Remington XCR Compact Tactical and a 56 cm barrel from Lothar Walther in stainless steel in a 1 in 8 twist with a m18x1 suppressor thread. 23 mm at the muzzle.
The smith is finnish (well, Åland which is slightly different) and very skilled and experienced.
Rifle was intended to be a light hunting rigg but I couldn't really handle the ergonomics, being used to a Sauer target rifle, so I have modified the grip somewhat, hence the repainting. A cheek rest is on the to do list as well.
I have only shot 100 shots so far, I use Normas factory loaded moly coated Berger 105's, which in this cold weather travels at 900ish m/s.
Some 300 meter targets:
500 meters:
The gun:
