sent eddief a remington 700 action and bought a hs precision stock from redhawk rifles. he found us a #3 benchmark 6.5 cal barrel. then eddie and karl did their magic on her 6.5 creedmoor. it should be here early next week. Gwen loved dvdegeorge (dan) colors on his 257 weatherby and wanted that for her new rifle.

Great looking gun, she will love it for sure. Good choice on the cartridge, the smaller 6.5's have a lot to offer with mild recoil.

Only in rifles!

As stated prior, she deserves it. Good job!

shoots good enough

130 grain accubond at 2850 fps should slay all that needs slaying

That will do nicely. A 130 gr Accubond at 2850 fps is a really good all around load especially when it shoots like that.
