Damn nice looking rifle!!

Thanks, hopefully it shoots well too.

 

[11Charlie]

What stock is that?

Thanks, hopefully it shoots well too.

Details!! What is it, What stock is it?

 

[Kruel J]

Bergara HMR 6.5 Creedmoor
Factory stock
Warne 20 MOA rail
Warne Maxima rings
Leupold V3Xiii LRP 8.5-25x50mm FFP
Harris Bipod

I "recycled" the scope and bipod from my last rifle. I really like the factory adjustable stock and the fact that it takes AICS mags.

 

[Steel Head]

Bergara?

Never mind.
You just posted and confirmed my suspicions.

 

[Goosebrown]

Nice. But it isn't real till you show pictures of the group.

Remember not to shoot it there through the side of your truck. ;-p

 

[Kruel J]

Nice. But it isn't real till you show pictures of the group.

Soon brother. Very soon. I just got it this afternoon!

Well, my Sako A7 is finally starting to impress me. It took a little bit of persuasion on my part. Had to glass bed it because it was throwing random flyers. It's shooting great now though, so I decided to put a Nightforce on it. It earned it... SWFA SS went back on the old trusty Savage 12fv 6.5 creedmoor...

I go up and down the powder scale with this rifle and it doesn't care what I put in it. It's one of the most consistent shooters I have:

Even factory ammo shoots well in this rifle. I was shooting some Selior and Bellot the other day and I was surprised it was shooting moa 10 shot groups. Like I said, it's very consistent.

Its the second rifle from the top:


I just ordered a CDI bottom metal for it, so I can use 10 round AICS magazines. Should be pretty good then...

Damn man, congrats!! I can't wait to see how the Bergara shoots. I was shooting your old rifle last night and this is one of the groups I shot with it:

 

[bsa1917hunter]

Thanks. I think the rifle is capable enough now. Now its time to work up a good load.

Not a damn thing wrong with that. I have some model 70's that are every bit as accurate as my Tikkas. Tikkas arent the only brand that shoot well.

 

[Boboclown]

Something to replace the .30-06.

Just a little stainless Remington 700 ADL in 308. Got it from Bi-Mart for $359. Nikon scope and Surefire can.

Target is 100-yards on the left and 200-yards on the right. Federal Power Shok 150gr SP (from Bi-Mart as well).

 

[bsa1917hunter]

Stock adjustable trigger. At the moment its set at 4lbs but it is adjustable down to 2lbs. It is so smooth at 4 I am afraid that if I dial it down to 2 and sneeze wrong I might send a round down range

I have both of my CTR's adjusted down to a hair under 2 pounds. They are still safe and very smooth. Tikka does make a nice factory trigger.

I have been convinced to try it I just haven't yet. Next range day I may have to do that.
