I received my browning hells canyon 6.5 creedmoor long range with 26 inch barrel. It measures 27 3/4 with muzzle brake. I was impressed with the rifle overall features. But the range results were outstanding. At 100 yards it shot a .400 group with factory hornady eldx 143 gr without muzzle brake. I shot another group with brake this group was 1/2 inch higher slightly right 1/4 inch. Group size was .250. I tested the 2700 fps on box. My chronograph read 2775. With this information I calculated my ballistics out to 600 yards. I set up targets at intervals in my bdc reticle. 180, 303,408,517. I removed muzzle brake for i will not use it hunting. All groups were 3 shot groups with 5 minute pause between at 180 I had .758 group. At 303 group was 1.08. Group at 408 was 1.75. The group at 517 was 2.59. I fired last two bullets at a range of 600. That 2 shot group was 3.25. Now my scope is a 3x9x50. I am extremely pleased with the results.

We have showed very similar results with our Browning long range in 6.5. Definitely exceeded all expectations.

The added bonus is being able to match your wardrobe to your rifle.
Honestly, it's pretty cool that you can buy a factory gun, twisted right in a great stock over the counter.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

Cool gun. A factory rifle in a mcmillian for 2k seems off but I'm sure it's a nice rifle and shoots great.

The Hell's Canyon rifle was reviewed in Rifle Magazine recently. The author had one in 7mm Remington Magnum and shot an elk with it. He liked it, but thought the barrel was long and cumbersome, even without the brake. It looks pretty cool with the camo.
