Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Custom 6.5-06

Life happens. I've not been around much but for good reason. I have a a F.I.L. diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme. I also have a good friend who is in a jam and I'm going to help him out. I'm ralleying funds for airfair for my wife and kids to spend time as it's running out fast. I've another 6.5-06 from this smith which I am keeping so I haven't lost all sanity.
When this settles and shakes out I'm sure I'll hit speed dial and order up another but for now this is where I'm at.

This is a custom built rifle. Designed around the hunting habits of the western states. It is also suited to longer range hunting is areas where it is possible.
The rifle is built on a Remington 700 long action which has been trued. Everything is precise and square. The bolt handle has a modified knob installed. It is a smidgen larger and longer than most for ease of operation while wearing gloves. The bolt itself has an Sako extractor installed for a more reliable extraction of a fired case. The barrel is a Stainless Steel Mike Rock 5R 8 twist at 26" with a custom break which reduces recoil about 70 %. All metal is coated in cerekote flat black. The barreled action is pillar and glass bedded into an HS Precision custom painted Hunter Stock in a BDL system.
The trigger is a Remington trigger which has been blue printed and set at @ 2 lbs.
I have less than 135 documented rounds fired and the barrel is barely broke in. With handloaded ammunition this rifle is sub minute of angle accurate and I have results of 100 yard groups measuring in the .3's and 500 yard groups measuring 2.5". I will include the most accurate load recipie with the sale of the rifle.
The picture depicts the rifle and a group shot at 500 yards. If you need more pictures please don't hesitate to ask.

Very sorry to hear of your FIL.

Tanner,

You're a junkie.

Your last project is a stone cold killer.

I'll just wait in line for your next cast off....

Last time is shot it I went 10 for 10 at a 10" plate at 800 yards
off the backpack.

jus sayin'

Thanks for the kind works

questions aswered via PM...

need to move this

The most accurate rifle I own was one of Cocadori's trade offs.

Deal with confidence.

Cocadori,

good luck with the challenges, my thoughts are with you and your family.

Thanks Jeff... Life happens.. almost when you don't expect it.

Been a challenging 4 months so far. Lotsa travels to the east and back...

Bump for a nice rifle. Prayers lifted up for your family...

Sincere thanks.

I love that rifle. I've lusted after it every time you've posted that pic. Wish I could do it right now. Best wishes.

Thanks for the kind wishes.

To help the buyer..

I'l throw in 100 Scenars, 100 primers, and 50 pieces of new brass.

The powder it uses is starting to show up almost everywhere.

Free bump for a good guy and a great rifle. I have a 6.5-06 from the same smith. He does great work and builds an incredible stick.

gotaa sorta need this to go to someone who "needs" it.

lotsa tire kickers...

I can't swing your rifle, but I am praying for your family.

^^^

Really need this to go....

Markets tough right now, people aren't spending the money even on nice things.

So with that said, start dropping the price if you have some room?

I'm always willing to listen to an offer.

This is the "poor mans 6.5/284" will do anything as well and possibly better, cheaper brass and longer barrel life. I'm running 139 scenars at 3000 fps... yeah pretty cool. They like to make itty bitty groups out to 800 yards too!
