Pics of my 6.5 x 47 Lapua build

[jdefranc938]

Well, I just received my custom 700 project. As if you couldn't tell from the title of this post, I went with the 6.5 x 47 Lapua. I just finished breaking the barrel in and have a 5 shot group within .25" I haven't even tried load development yet, and I'm not overly sure how much further I will try haha. This was done with 120 SMK's so I will most likely try a more "ballistic bullet" for hunting purposes.
Parts List:
Remington 700 Short Action receiver
Bolt fluted by Kampfeld Custom
Blueprinted by my gunsmith
Bartlein SS barrel finished to 26" with an 8 twist
Gunsmith did a great job of blasting the barrel and "scotch-briting" it for a nice stainless matte finish
McMillan A1-3 stock with 45% black/ 30% dark grey/ 25% white
Tubbs SpeedLock Firing Pin
Holland recoil lug
Williams complete bottom metal
Engraving done by Kampfeld Custom
Jewell trigger
Seamless muzzle brake
Leupold Mark 4 base
Leupold Mark 4 30mm rings
Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25x50 M1 with TMR
with Alumina flip up caps

Sorry it's a little blurry... When I get around to it, I will take a better picture!

Nice view of the spiral fluted bolt!

Seamless muzzle brake

6.5 x 47 Lapua!! And the gunsmith's stamp, he did a great job!

And this was my way of customizing this rifle just a bit more!

Hope you all enjoy!!

Nice rifle. Who's muzzle brake is that?

 

[jdefranc938]

I'm honestly not sure of the actual manufacturer. My smith, uses them exclusively and has been very impressed with them. So far, I'm as equally impressed! Sorry I can't give you a definite answer

This is the load I decided on for hunting. It is a 130gr Berger VLD sitting on top of 38.7 of H4350 with a velocity of 2694. Using Lapua brass and CCI BR-4 primers. This was 3 shots at 100yds. From center to center it measured .115"

She's a keeper for sure.

Sweet! What's the zero on that bad boy?

 

[jdefranc938]

At the time the zero was at 100 yds, but it was high because I forgot to click the scope back down to zero after shooting at a hog. Tomorrow morning, weather permitting, I will rezero it at 200 yds.
