DF - the M18 is an interesting looking rifle, look forward to hearing more how they shoot. The 130 AB has always been my go to for field use in 6.5s, accurate and deadly near and far for me.
This one is around MOA with factory ammo, would probably go sub MOA with good hand loads. I haven't reloaded for it, other than swapping 140 gr. Winchester target bullets for 130 gr. NAB's, which curiously shot to the same POI as the 140 gr. and 147 gr. ELD-M's, 140 gr. Win target and those Win cases, same powder, with 130 gr. NAB's. The barrel looks great thru the Hawkeye, looks like a custom grade barrel.
The trigger is easy to adjust with a metric Allen wrench. This rifle is well designed and well built.
I'm impressed and I don't impress easily.
