From what position would you be shooting? Bench? prone? Any caliber/energy restrictions?

Absent those details, I would build an 8-twist 6mm of some flavor on a Remington clone custom action with a Triggertech and have it weigh about 15 pounds.

You could probably just buy something off the shelf.
Such as Tikka TAC in 6.5.


All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

I would just get a Steyr SSG .308 with a Kahles 6x scope and call it good

I'd "build" a Seekins Havak in either 6 CM or 6.5 CM. Lots of combinations on action/barrel maker/etc you could do it with but I think it would be hard to beat what Seekins has put together, I'm doing this with the consideration that it would be used to hunt as well as "just" shoot the 10 shots at 500.

I'd make sure it had left side flush cups though....Seekins missed that and it irritates me with this rifle.

Bat action, Krieger barrel, McMillan stock, Jewell trigger, Nightforce scope, chambered in 6 Dasher.....

Thanks guys, I did forget to mention we can only use a front bi pods and a rear bag, bench is ok or prone. I'm liking the 6.5-.284 and the 6 dasher

No, they aren't. The Havak comes with them on the bottom....hard to add or not, it's still an irritation to need to do it.

I have a feeling this thread will turn out to be foreshadowing.

-Kelbly Atlas Tactical action
-Bix n' Andy Dakota trigger (likely to be a tacsport later if I wanna go lighter)
-6.5mm 8twist Bartlein 5r #13 Sendero/rem varmint profile
-Manners PRS-2 in midnight camo
-Seekins precision DBM M5 bottom metal
-Kelblys new self timing muzzle brake "The Claw"


Chambered by Kelblys in 6.5x47 Lapua

Weighs in just shy of 10lbs as she sits.


My first custom rifle....and I'm smiling ear to ear like a kid on Christmas.


Hopefully get her bedded tomorrow and start breaking her in next week.

Between flathead fishing, hunting season, and life...I won't get to get real serious till about February unless I kill a buck early. Too many hobbies...not enough time. I have a few couple periods where there's nothing to hunt or catch...which is when I will shoot heavy.



Thought I'd share since I posted a teaser a while ago.


thank me later
dave

I could pick up one of 2 308's or a 6.5 CM. I also have a 30/06 which should do and two 30/40 Krags which should do as well. Oh, and a 8 twist 22-250 and a 6.5/284. The last two are Savages and easily forgettable. GD
