I started a thread what to build. Lots of 6.5 ideas bounced around.

Definitely not a strict backpack rifle since itll wear a 2lb scope. But lighter is nice.

Barrel is already bought, and 22 is what I prefer. Nothing but backpack hunts from here on out for the most part. Compact is key for me. 6.5 sst seemed bad butt but already having a 7ss for stretching it long makes me wanna stay with a .473 head. Sounds like creedmoor vs 260ai. both have Lapua brass. Both should deliver close to 2000 rounds? Makes eating a $700 barrel not as painful if it will last 4-6 years of fun. I was all about 26 plus brake barrels but after the last 10 years my longest shot is in the neighborhood of 475 yards. I would probably cap my coues hunts at 800 yards. More speed makes wind calls easier but I really enjoy a shorter profile.

Ive got a 6.5 creedmoor currently, by the time i have everything I need for this one I will have a 7ss as well. So maybe a 260ai, 7ss, and rebarrel current creedmoor to a 22 creedmoor? Always enjoy hearing opinions and debates from you guys. In the end its all just money and fun but a guy can only watch lance build so many cool rifles until he has to build his own 🤣🤣

Will be used as a repeater with a 2.95 Max OAL

For you creedmoor guys using Lapua brass, are you able to lean on it and see a noticeable difference in velocity over LRP brass? Concerning 260ai where you can stuff it full of rl26, is that harder on throats than a stiff charge of 4350?

Would a #4 contour handle a fast 6.5?

Buying new ptg bolt, so standard 260 terminator I do like the terminator, plus side is buying formed Lapua brass from Shawn.

Buying new ptg bolt, so standard or mag

Do you offer financing?

Ordered my stock last week and they quoted 4-6 months.

Found a box that had some of my reloads in it. These are Berger 130 AR hybrids at 100 yds.

Good to see some local stores in Payson not selling their forewood to campers.

They let security guards have guns now?Unloaded. Orange tip on the muzzle?

Ill stick with Swarovski.

TTT

If your tank is going empty I would say they arent connected.

Ive got a model 7 chambered in 222 with an 18 barrel. Something similar to that would be sweet.

This is the one I use, if you have bitch hands this one is not for you. I am not kidding when I say you have to grip it like a big dog!

Can you haul goats in a bed of a truck? How about in a Polaris?

1900 calories... thats breakfast

Wow that is super scary! I use the one from extreme outer limits, but it damages every bullet and you have to grip it like a big dog. Definitely not as easy as they show on YouTube.

When are we bbqing then cat?

Thats why I make an effort to piss on all my trees. Seems to keep em healthy.
