Last rebarrel job for the year for me. Shaen bought a new reamer for this one and Benchmark turned the #2, 23.5" 8 twist in 2 weeks. .608 at the muzzle which makes the accuracy all the more impressive to me.

Things I learned lately:
1. Decide on cartridge that Lapua makes brass for
2. Buy Hawk Hill or Benchmark barrels, others are great I am sure, but these two worked well for me
3. Have Shaen chamber it
In a total of 33 rounds fired, have drops to 700 confirmed and it is ready to roll. Weighs around 6.5 pounds bare and a little over 7.5 with the 6x SS on it. Grabbed a load off of 6mmbr.com for the 6.5-284, shot a couple quarter inch groups at 100 and then went long. As a side note, the lapua brass comes out of the blue box, gets chamfered, primed and loaded. No prep, no resizing. 140 vld running right around 2875 fps.

For only a 6x at 600 yards, it shot a group just over .5 moa. Very low recoil as well. So for a longish range easy to get to shoot rig, talk to Shooter71. Pics below.
