I've never had a custom rifle, so last winter I ordered a pair of barreled actions from Bighorn Arms. Polly Creed is a TL3 in 6.5 creed and Percy McBighorn is a SR3 in 6.5 PRC. Proof research carbon sendero light barrels, 20" on the creed and 22" on the PRC. Both wear Manners EH6A stocks, the creed is DBM and the PRC is BDL, TT diamond triggers, ARC M-10 rings. Sico Omega on the creed and Harvester on the PRC. I bought a pair of LRHSi's on the GAP clearance for them, but puked a Burris XTRII on my RPR and had to use one on it before the customs were ready. I tossed the LRHSi on Percy and bought a LRTS 3-12 for the lovely Miss Polly. I got the creed in, just before antelope season and the PRC the day before I left for elk camp. Neither got to kill their big game, so I had to draw first blood on smaller critters....

Good looking pair of girls. What do they weigh and what is the point of the wrap around the cans (I am asking honestly as I know little about suppressors, etc)?

the cans get HOT.... the covers keep you from looking thru the mirage off'n them. Not needed for just a couple shots.

Interesting, I would have never thought that was the reason. Thanks for the tip...

Oh, 11 and 12 pounds

How are you liking the Proof barrels? Looking at one for a build.

Very Nice rigs.

Hank, it's early but so far I'm digging the CF barrels

Don, you have some lovely ladies there.
Congrats.

What are you feeding them?

Both rigs came out awesome. Really liking the look of those EH6A's.

Polly and Percy? What happened to the old man, Apollo?

Did he run off with Miss Kimberly?

Apollo the RPR is on the coffee table gathering dust now... Miss Kimberly felt left out during elk season, as Percy took her place this year. I even tried to send her out with otter6, but he never stopped by to take her out.

Cool rigs, though I'm pretty sure I saw Trystan post those same pics......

Twit-thtan is cutting edge.

Nice pair H'man!

Nice rifles Don!

David

Good deal.

I like the looks of those rifles, but really like how you're hell on critters.

Couple dandy’s there Don! Very nice

Gotdamn, now that's quite the pair......eeny, meeny, miny, moe......

Gophers to hippos your set....

Nice rifles...love the calibers!!!

one more step up the size ladder....

How did you manage 22" on the PRC? I can only find 20" and 24" ones

Bighorn ordered it thru Proof.

Nice! He would be the guy to go through.

Great looking rigs the both of them. You're dog ain't looking too good though.....

Two very nice looking rigs. Looks like they shoot pretty well too😊

Good looking Set Don! and from the pics they work!

A bud used the PRC on a plains deer about a week ago.


I popped another coyote yesterday with the creed

Sweet! What are those stocks weighing? Just wondering if there is a way to shave some weight?

save weight by not getting the adj cheekpiece and minichassis and dbm.....and put on a short pencil barrel and lighter scope and rings. nothing to it...

And money.........

The plain EH6 is also a very nice stock... can’t decide which one is my favorite but the EH6A is definitely a little heavier...

Very cool rifle...

Porky just became a hater......

Do they seem ass heavy without the can screwed on?

Don, what kind of velocity are you getting with Percy? I’m thinking on a 22” Proof just like yours but with EH2 stock.

Nice rifles for sure!

Awesome setup.

Awesome pair! Looks like the prc is on a short action? What did you do for a mag box on the prc? How does it feed? Who’s bottom metal did you use?

SA, Wyatt's extended box, feeds great. BM is bdl manners mini chassis with rem factory bottom

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. 2910 with 450's, 147's and Retumbo

Polly and Percy? I thought you said your rifles were named Frederica and Judwina?

Since my first name is "Percival" (and I am a fourth straight generation "Percival", being first son), I approve of your rifle named "Percy".

forgot about this thread. Percy kilt another buck this fall...




and Polly whomped a cow for my kid..



Percy and Polly have another sibling on the way. A RimX action, 16 1/2"proof barrel in a AG stock in 22 LR. I shall name the new child Pippa. Pippa McPlinksqueak. Or should it be Plinky McPipsqueak?.....

Nice heavy buck there. Looks like you guys did well. I've never been good with names. Once had a dog we just called "dog".....

Hows about Penelope?

Priscilla?

Congrats on the nice trophy's.

Penny

Got the Bighorn RimX put together yesterday. I reckon I'll not name this one, as I just keep calling it the RimX....
