Check the tension of the thread protector. The one on mine was not even snug.

That's coming right off for the can.

Feel your pain, George. Finally got a couple hours this afternoon to run out to the range. Had to wait out the rain before getting the second rifle sighted, but I'm good now.

Good luck!

edited to add:

We'll probably be doing a stop at the Cabelas in Kearney, NE on the 29th, if anybody wants to do a Fire high five.

Picked mine up yesterday from the lgs. Davidsons makes life simple.



Dnz game reaper with 3-9x42 meopta.

Got it buttoned up this eve, then it rained.

FYI,
Warne low rings and Leupold VX2 3x9x40. Plenty of clearance remained and lots of eye relief adjustment.

Shoot some this eve with 130gr Prime ammo. Only at sight in range. ~50 yards.

As the dood on forged in fire says.... it will keeel.

I like the 130 gr. Prime ammo.

I called them to encourage some prime ammo in ~140's.

Fellow said they get that alot. So hopefully they will make some.

Y'all keep it up.... You gonna cost me some money... Have a LH SS SA Rem 700 action sitting on the shelf... Thinking that might become a 6.5.... OTOH, the RAR Predator would be less cost than a good barrel or a good stock...


Bunch of enablers...

I can't recall the company President's name but after I ordered a good bit of ammo he actually called me to thank me for the order. I was really impressed. A great guy, good conversationalist, and we talked for 30 minutes or so. I'd never had anything like that happen to me before.

I ordered a free shipping special. The email was worded where I *thought* it said a case + a box to get the free shipping. So I ordered 11 boxes. The box came with only 10. I called late one afternoon. Talked to a guy, he transferred me to the shipping guy. I told him what happened, He apoligized and sent me the box. No fuss, no muss.No questions.

I did get a voicemail from some gal at Prime, thanking me for the order and asking if there was anything else I needed,

I took the 6.5 Creednoor to the range the day before antelope season and with both the Federal 140gr SP and Hornady 120gr SP loads, I got bughole groups (two witnesses). Both loads shot to the same POI If it wasn't raining, I might have tried for five-shot groups.

I can't wait to start handloading for it.

P.S. And I got my pronghorn with the .243 Ackley.

Took the nephew out Saturday and he really likes this rifle. The few times I shot it I was also impressed. We were using the Winchester XP 125gr. Perfect for around here.

Got mine in hand last night....for anyone that is still following alone....Jeff Quinn if FOS. My barrel mics .748 at the end of the contour before threads. Opens up some additional options for brakes. Load development to follow shortly

Maybe a slight variance?. I got .720 right before threads.

Brake from Macs Gunworks.

No kick. Just a gentle nudge.

I fired mine with the suppressor mounted; at 100yds., POI dropped 1" with the Hornady 120gr. A-Max factory load and 1.5" with the Federal 140gr. SP load.

It was very quiet, even though I used is a .30cal. suppressor.

Need indexed/timed? Looks like it's got ports or baffles 360?

No timing. It does have 360* porting.

Called the “Notimer”

And they turned it down to match barrel o.d.

Out of stock everywhere...
