I just bought the same stock but couldn't get it in that color without waiting 5 months so I got coyote tan instead. I hope it helps me shoot groups like that!

My brother and I are working on building one. Did you have to make any mods on the mag? Are you running standard AI 308 Mags? Thanks for the info.

****, another build? Nice to see you here, I gave up on the Hide's new software.

How close is the 6.5 SAUM to the 264 win mag? I am thinking of another 6.5 on my magnum bolt face for a non-kicker to offset all the 300 WBY tubes I have for the gun. I am shooting a 6.5 WSSM now It is pretty close to the 6.5-284. One problem I can see is the avaliabillity of 7mm SAUM brass!!!

Running Alpha WSM mag, that holds 5 rounds and the smaller Accurate WSM mag that holds 3rounds

GAP is hopefully getting factory brass made soon and will be head stamped 6.5 GAP

26". And the 140 amax is right at 3140 fps. It will gain some in next 50plus rounds.

I'll throw MagnetoSpeed on again and let ya know

Having one built at SAC right now. Just ordered brass, dies and loaded ammo from Copper Creek last night. I hope to have the gun around February sometime.

Remington 700 Action with the bolt opened up. Bartlein heavy fluted barrel, APA 5 shot DBM bottom metal in a McMillan hunting stock. I sent him my 243AI that had not been shot in 2 years and had him change it over. Should be an awesome shooter. It had a M40 contour barrel so I stayed with that and heavy flutes. It has a factory Remington trigger tuned by GAP but I may have mark change it out?

Josh at Copper Creek worked with Mark and they came up with a plan. I order 100 Rounds of loaded ammo with the 130 VLD and 100 rounds of brass with dies set up for my chamber specs.
