6.5 Creedmoor ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/JzjpZjmj/22-D97267-CB56-4-FF4-A0-FA-8-E75-E9-FBACF1.jpg) Mack Brothers Titanium EVO SA Proof CF 22” .264 1:8 Sendero Light Manners EH2 SOL M5 DBM TT 700 Special Precision Armament M11 Brake APA 34mm .856 Rings Steiner MX7i 4-28x56mm MSRII* Modular Evolution bipod My friend Scott Weichel of Live Oak Accuracy did the build. Many thanks to F3 at FIST Industries for supplying the stock in double time! *Will swap in a Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50 Mil-C (C623), as soon as I can get my hands on one. Starting load development with Starline SRP brass, H4350, 147 ELDM, and REM 7 1/2 primers. I might give WIN 780 Supreme, RL26, MRP, and H1000 a try too. I’m not sure if I need SRP Mag primers for the slower powders.

Nice rig! Good choice in projectile too. 
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

I really like the looks of that rig kingston. Very nice. Very anxious to see how load development goes with the Starline brass and those 147's. I really like the way they fly out here in breezy West Texas. Good luck, keep us posted if you don't mind.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I like your stock choice a lot too. I'm still a fan of the McMillan HTG, and I believe your is almost the same but with a higher comb. Very nice.

Super nice rig.
I imagine load develop will be a breeze. You didn't mention its final build weight, though. With all those lightweight components such as the titanium action and the PR barrel, looks like you had a certain application in mind. A lightweight sheep/deer rifle maybe? Looks like the stock is fiberglass, not carbon fiber, but I can't tell for sure from the pic. If it is fiberglass, rather than carbon, I'm curious why you went that route, schedule maybe?
Also, what trigger did you install?
Again, it's a sweet rifle, and we're all anxious to hear how she performs at the range and in the field.
And, oh yeah; the beard, skinny jeans and toothy grin suit you well.

Flat brimming? Flat brimmed ball caps were the norm until farmers stared bending them to fit the contour of a their mailboxes, looking for those government checks.
