Couple more Creedmoors . . . 6.5 and 6mm . . . . . because I can.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Not really a custom more like a modified factory. I bought a special run T3 from Whittaker's. 223 1/8twist with the fluted barrel like a super lite but blued with the camo stock.
Plan to have the bolt fluted and change out the bolt handle. Plan for a McMillian Edge stock sooner or later.

I am building my 9 year old son his first big game rifle -(6.5 creedmoor ) so he will be ready to go chase spring bear when he turns 10 next year- actually got a call this morning from the smith letting me know the metal work was done...
Rem 700 short action
Timney Trigger
Fluted and lighten bolt
Fluted Shilen #2 finished at 23"
B&C Mountain Rifle stock ADL, cut to 13" LOP
Talley Low 1 piece mounts...
Scope - Undecided, but I have an extra 3-9x conquest or may look at a 3-9x cds VX2
Going to work up some reduced 125 grain Partition loads - should be a great rifle for him.

I've got Turnbull building me a .50-110 express on a Browning M71 action.
I'm also pondering the idea of building a light 6.5 Leopard (WSM) on a M70/Featherweight stock with a 1:8 twist barrel. That isn't 100% for sure though.

Had a 6mm Rem on a 700 action completed in April. Now working toward getting the pieces together for a .222 Rem Mag build on a 700.

Well.. 2017 is soon over.
But, I am modifying a Tikka T3 Varmint in 6,5x55 with a McMillan A-3 and S&B 10x42 scope.
Next year I might start on two singleshot Sako A1 & Sako A2 action I have.
They come with the target triggers, with a ridiculous low pull weight.

458 Win. Most likely a 98 with iron sights.

I am hoping he enjoys it...really seems into hunting and the outdoors for a youngster. Should be a great rifle that we can throw into a full size McMillan once he reaches an age that he outgrows the 13" LOP. Heck, maybe he will like the B&C, and we just put on a full size replacement.
