So, as a few may have seen, I've shared me recent rifle purchase/pix & it's my very 1st ever owned/handled "bolt-action" rifle.
So, having bought this online, it sent to a local FFLer, I'll admit I didn't fine tooth comb over it, but did look it over.
However, I did miss looking under the bolt handle, only to discover lil later after the lovely 10 business day wait,
& after having picked it up & back home, did I discover "223" scribed under bolt handle![S0092 :s0092: :s0092:](/styles/smilies/001/s0092.gif)
I do know 223 & 6.5 Creedmoor or any 6.5 cartridge isn't the same at all.
There's a slight bit of slop when operating the action, I'm not sure what's excessive, but once it's seated & locked in place...
not sloppy at all.
Btw, the barrel is indeed factory stamped 6.5 Creedmoor
Wtf, my fellow![S0010 :s0010: :s0010:](/styles/smilies/001/s0010.gif)
