Got a new rifle, Savage 12 LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor, Went with a somewhat common reload, I had a match coming up in 2 days and had basically an hour after work to get it sighted in and ready to go. Loaded up 100 rounds and took it out. ![[Linked Image]](http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii294/Clayne_b/1Savage_zpsc43008fb.jpg) Here is a shot video, the rifle has less than 20 rounds threw it in this video Shooting 475 -825 yards. 6.5 Creedmoor 475 & 825 Yards - YouTubeThe match went good for what little time I had with the rifle. I got 6th place out of 19 shooters This was from one of the stages, 200 yards weak side! "left handed" ![[Linked Image]](http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii294/Clayne_b/1group_zps3b87aadc.jpg) After less than 90 rounds threw the rifle, I am very happy with it.

Are you seeing much copper fouling in the barrel?

I have done nothing to the rife, I cleaned the bore put a rail, rings, scope, bipod, cheek pad. and went out and shot it!
I have no intentions of cleaning it anytime soon either...So I will not know how much copper fouling.

I'm glad you posted this.
I've got my eye on one of the Left handed 110 Predator Hunter Max in 6.5 Creedmoor
What optics are you sporting?

Nice looking rig. Where did you get that pad for the stock? I'm thinking I might be able to use something like that.
