Just got the action and barrel back and got it put together. Really looking forward to load development and shooting it.
Surgeon action, Proof barrel Sendero, Manners LRH stock, Jewell trigger and Nightforce ATACR.

Old barrel was a heavy stainless Bartlein and it liked 140 Bergers, 36.0 or 37.5 Varget and a CCI 450.

Will see what this proof barrel likes.

Sweet! I just picked up my 6.5x47L barreled FN SPR from Matt Stewart of Stewart Rifles, and just started breaking it in with factory 120 Scenar L. Rounds 4-7 went into .501", and rounds 9-12 did a touch better at .473".

Once I get the first 50 down the tube, I'll start load development.

I went with a Brux this time...and I'm sure my rig is a pig compared to yours.
