Excellent stories and memories made! I had one question, what contour is your rifle barrel? I’m in the process of gathering parts for a 6 creedmoor build and like your setup.
It’s a K&P barrel. #2 light sporter short shanked. It’s the barrels LRI prefers to work with, which is who I had chamber/thread it.
Wouldn’t do a thing different. Rifle weighs right at 5 1/4 pounds sans optics. Simply awesome imho.
