Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats It's Happy 6.5 Creedmoor Day!!

Big Brown just delivered my new custom 6.5 Creedmoor from Elkhorn Precision Rifles. Tim did an excellent job on this rifle (as he normally does).

All parts arrived at his place on March 1st.....Rifle delivered to me today, March 31st!!! No pictures yet, but will post some later this evening.


Here are the build specs:

*Surgeon 591 repeater action, with small firing pin

*Krieger #4 Barrel = 1-8 twist, 4 groove, 23" finished length, 11* recessed target crown

*McMillan Rem Hunter stock w/Elkhorn Precision custom bedding and fit/finish, painted black

*Hawkins Precision BDL bottom metal, Rem mag box, spring, and milled steel follower

*Jewell trigger tuned to 2#

*All metal cerakoted Mil-Spec OD with Graphite Black accents

*Will be topped with a Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x50 scope in Seekins rings

Jeff looks like a nice blueprint. Tim sure builds one hell of a rifle.. Should be a nice PA deer slayer. Have parts heading Tim's way next week.

Thanks buddy!!

Tim will get ya hooked up...you already know that though, LOL!!

Sounds like another super nice build Jeff, looking forward to seeing the pictures. I'm hoping to join the Creedmore club later this year when I have all my parts together

Sounds nice......

Dibs on the Nightforce............

Here are some pictures.....Yes, I know bi-pod was on backwards, lol!!

Skane called dibs about 3 weeks ago.....LOL!!

Its official...

That was fast! Sweet rifle. First class all around.

Looks awesome - I like everything about that one, should be a heck of a hunting rifle!!

Not sure about your beer tastes though

Thanks Frank.....that is my hunting beer...I drink 8, 11, 17 of them before I hit the woods...keeps me on top of my game, LOL!!

Jeff that turned out nice get yourself some AR500 and go out and ring some steel!

I suppose you will sight it in this weekend. Soooooo, it will be for sale Monday! 🤑

That's some fast turn around! What's she weigh all up?

A little less than if he'd used regular Budweiser.

Mighty fine rifle

That'll work quite nicely.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!!


I was able to get out to the range to finally shoot the new rifle......it did not disappoint. I was only able to shoot at 100 yds before the rains hit.

3 shot groups with Hornady Precision Hunter ammo = 143 grain ELD-X

First group after initial sight-in:




Next group to confirm zero:

Nice stick Jeff. Applaud you on "Less is more" - recoil, blast, carry weight. I predict a similar build to follow in a 2 or 2B contour but perhaps a 3 or fluted 3 in the middle. And perhaps a 22" barrel. A 6 CM might make a good companion

Should make an outstanding Stand rifle. Well done. Nice shooter and shooting.

FWIW I've had great luck w 4g barrels, as well as 3 and 5, yet the nostalgia factor hits me from the Swede roots. You just might like this one enough to enjoy it for awhile.

Happy Hunting

Nice rifle and great shooting.
