What started this whole thing was last fall I bought several triggers to replace the stock ones on a couple three guns that needed upgrading. No time like the present to get an extra....just in case.....

Shortly there after, I thought it best to get a stock on order from Mcmillan, so as not to be caught flatfooted.....just in case, ya know..... (no new builds)Figgered I could always peddle it if nothing materialized in the future.....

Then a month or so later, wouldn't ya know it, Brunos had free shipping on in stock Kreiger barrels. Well who's gonna pass up free schitt? Just so happened they had a eight twist 6.5 in a Rem Varmint contour on the shelf.
Hell's bells, I even got me a reamer that has 6.5 etched on it too.......destiny lives.....

OK Al. I'll say it . . . 6.5 Creedmoor.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

In for a penny, in for a pound......so full steam ahead....
Found an action in stock, exactly what I wanted:
Bat VR, short action, repeater, melanited, integral recoil lug, integral 20 MOA picatinny rail, and a tactical bolt knob.
Bombs away....

As soon as the action came in, I boxed it, the barrel, and reamer all up for the ride to the smith. Weren't but a few days later and I was greeted with a return package.Everyone should get one of these with their new tube as well:
