I an not familiar with the 6.5 Mega. What is the parent case?

That's a good looking rifle! Excuse my ignorance but can I get details on that bipod set up please.

Burn a lot less powder and scare 6.5-300wby did you say?

Thanks I thought it looked like an Atlas but was not familiar with the attachment. Looks very stabil.

Can't go wrong with Alamo Precision!

It's never scared. Trust me, not even a little

Might have a new set of rules in place..? This one will be less likely to puke unburned powder, and definitely will be an improvement in efficiency. Barrel will surely last longer.
Justice is going to find out, he needs to hurry up and tag out. I wish him luck quickly!

And thanks to him I'll probably be looking for another barrel before long, or at least a re-chamber for a certain 6.5 Max. It's already 28"

I'd suspect the tuning will be easier, as well.
