Thanks to Moon at Crescent Customs

[AutoEssentials]

I just wanted to take a minute to give big thanks to my rifle's builder:

Moon at Crescent Customs in N. Kansas City, Missouri

He did an awesome job on my rifle. It started out as a mostly stock Remington 700P. He re-chambered it to 6.5 Creedmoore. He trued up all of the action, and added a Badger recoil lug, Bartlein 25" barrel, and a Badger thruster brake. Got my Timney trigger as smooth and reliable as possible, and then bedded the action into my new Manners T4a stock.

The rifle was grouping at 1/2" within the first box of factory Hornady ammo through the gun.

Here is a 4 shot 1/4" group from yesterday's practice. This gun is definitely a shooter now!

By the way, that was still shot with Hornady box ammo!

I really wish you guys would not post stuff about Moon and his builds. He is my builder too and i want to keep him all to myself He is already busy enough as is.

Nice gun and nice shooting.

Yes, I had him build it right before I went to Rifles Only training in Sac. It had under forty rounds through it before that week. A month later, I have over 600 rounds through the gun. Did you see that video that I shot of your run and gun stage at R.O.?

Sorry to let the cat out of the bag on Moon guys. He really hooked me up, in building me such a sweet rig on short notice!

No problem. I like getting shots and video of this stuff. It is always fun reliving a good performance, or learning for next time what to improve on.

What velocities are you seeing out of the factory Hornady 140's? Any other ammo and velocities out of it?

Re: Thanks to Moon at Crescent Customs

I got about 2820 from the factory stuff. The reloads that I have tried are mostly 140 Amax's running right around the same velocity.
