yes.... i just spent 30 minutes typing out the story, making it as entertaining as possible and the wife came in and said i got 5 minutes....show me the meme.........
changed screens , went back, and it was gone ! ..........screw it ! ........
Bottom line : had over 8 hours of time invested, 1/2 of it just in driving, the other, in finally getting ready to shooting it, once set up ,.... realized i didnt bring a chair ,,,,,,,
.........................................bought beer on way home, cause i never pulled the trigger.......................If i get over it and go shoot it, thats when i will report.........at least it is scoped and bore sighted at this point !!!

Got out with a buddy yesterday !
Conditions were ideal, but the bench was alittle wobbly on the mnt. and the trigger is set way to heavy !
However, the gun was running slightly over 3100 fps (3120 average ?) with the factory 140 accubonds and was cutting holes at 103 yards so i was quite pleased...

So the 6.5 RPM can be built on a Tikka Creedmoor with just setting the barrel back and cutting the chamber, along with removing the bolt stop? That would be a sweet combo

Ordered a Weathermark LT in 6.5 RPM yesterday, and 100 rounds of factory ammo, as brass is not readily available right now. Plan on trying 130 Accubonds in it first, have a bunch of them that were given to me. Hoping this becomes my go to deer rifle.

Once fired brass is available on the Weatherby site.
