This is my 6.5-284. Started life as a $199 Remington 783 in 30-06. Goal with this rifle was just to learn and experiment on the cheap.
-Criterion bull barrel. 1:8 twist.
-PTG bottom metal and AI mag.
-Bedded action myself.
-Was my first time installing a barrel and setting headspace.

I don't really care for the looks of the muzzle brake but there aren't a lot of options for a muzzle diameter that girthy. This rifle is fun to shoot. It doesn't recoil or muzzle jump at all when fired. I purchased the stencils and Cerakote to do the whole thing in digital camo, but life threw me a curve ball a couple years ago and I have a dozen unfinished rifle projects.

Not as fancy as all of the rest posted here. But I do have less invested into this than many factory stock rifles, it was fun to put together myself, it's fun to shoot, and for some reason it gets a ton of attention when people see it. I always get questions... Quite the conversation starter. :)

Is it wrong to post a non-custom but slightly customized rifle? I haven't gone down the custom route but if I did I think it would be with the Lone Peak Razor TI, Christensen Arms carbon wrapped barrel with titanium side port brake (support the locals) in a Manners EH1 midnight camo stock.

Another one of my babies:
Christensen Arms Ridgeline 6.5 PRC in a Mesa Precision Arms Altitude CF/camo CA titanium side port brake clocked without the crush washer.
Talley one piece mounts.
Vortex Razor HD AMG.
Total weight 7lbs unloaded.

I'm really surprised someone hasn't picked it up for import yet since hodgdon quit. I recently located 15# in a gun shop, just need to go get it.
