I was going to comment about impressive photography and then realized it was one of your posts again. Lol

I can't tell if it's the rifles or photography anymore!!

Not bad for a camera on my phone. Untouched too.

You have lighting down to a science man. There are professional photographers who can't do that!!

Getting ready to build one as present to myself. Let's see yours. Specs please and what you like and dont like.

Beanland Custom Rifles
Bighorn Origin action
Bartlein 8" twist 5R #3 finished at 24"
6.5 Creedmoor
McMillan Adjustable Game Scout In Desert Carbon Ambush
Flush cups on left side and bottom
Triggertech Diamond
APA bottom metal
Bighorn 20 MOA rail
Bushnell 3-12 LRTSi

The only thing I would do different is go with a 2" rail on the forend. Went with the 4" because it has an integral flush cup but with having flush cups on the left side it is unlikely the ones on the belly will ever get used.

Load development was stupid easy. Four different charges and one factory load at 500 averaged .555 MOA. Picked the charge that shot the best at 500, .49 MOA. Put it in paper the next day to make sure I had a solid 100 yard zero. Very gusty that day and portable bench was really wobbly but still managed to put all five touching at 100.

Still impatiently waiting on mine...action, bottom metal, trigger, and barrel all at the gunsmith ..... manners is the hold up currently...based on estimated timeline ...mid September

 

[Gord0]

It's technically a 6.5 build... 6.5 Grendel with an 18" Criterion. Should be fun, and hopefully somewhat accurate.

NO STEP ON SNEK!!! 6.5G!!

This is my match gun, another Jon Beanland work of art.

Shilen DGR action
Bartlein 8" twist 5R M24 contour chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, finished at 24"
VG6 PRS 65 brake
McMillan A6 Adjustable in Urban Carbon Ambush
Flush cups on both sides
Mesa Precision Arms bottom metal
20 MOA rail
Triggertech Diamond
Shown with Nightforce SHV F1 but currently has Bushnell 4.5-18 LRTSi
Shoots really well with Varget pushing 130gr AR Hybrids at 2910. (Or just about anything I put through it)
