My next one, in the works already, is a 6.5 4S Templar SA Hunter 6.5 Saum 24" fluted Bartlein barrel # 3, with Vias Brake Manners SL 100% CF stock R&D Precision M5 bottom metal Tuned Rem trigger Already gathering up the brass for it... The 6.5 SAUM has been calling me for a few years and my resolve continues to weaken. A 127 LRX at 3150 should be less than top-end for good brass and barrel life, but still SCREAMING out to 800+ on game. RLTW

He shot that buck out here this past November. It was a 300 yard broadside shot. 180gr VLD at 2950fps. That's the non typical with a few add ons. #3 Bartlein fluted bbl, Vias brake, Mcmillan Hunter's EDGE stock, custom paint. Badger M5 bottom. The GAP Crusader is a larger, heavier tactical style rifle. Pat, Can your buddies rifle hold 3 in the magazine and still feed well? I know most feed better with 2 down! Believe the Badger M5 mag holds 5 down and feeds slicker than you know what... “There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot.” ALDO LEOPOLD

The package should be sent off to GAP just after Christmas. I will do all the coating myself, so GAP will just be screwing on the tube and bedding the stock. It will be a .308. I'm pretty sure that GAP has that caliber down pat. Rem 700 CM SA McMillan Hunters Edge, ADL Brux 30 1:11 Shilen trigger Talleys Leupold 3.5-10x40 with M1s I only have about $1100 into the parts, not including the scope and rings, so by the time all is said and done I should have a "cheap" Non-typical

Hey Bob, I got all my parts together for a non-typical inspired 6xc build. Only diff is Crescent Customs is building it. I will be shipping all parts off tomorrow. Maybe get it in April hopefully. I went Brux on the barrel 7.5 twist #3. I am excited.

I wish I could shoot 3 shot groups like this every day...but I think the rifle could. A 3 shot group at 760 meters: I wouldn't worry about caliber too much. Whatever you get it in, it'll shoot. I wanted something low maintenance that would last forever so I went with a 308. Couldn't be happier with it.

I could for sure live with that! Smokepole, really good looking rifle and about what I'm looking for other then caliber. We are getting 3025 pretty easy with a custom shop Savage in 7WSM. We hit 3150 without real pressure signs but backed off as it HAS to be hot. Pretty easy to find loads for I thought. NRA Benefactor Member Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.

I got turned onto this config the first time I laid eye on Scenarshooters OD green rifle. Is that a fixed 10x S&B and if so, had you any experience with a fixed 10 before you bought? I am curious because I am thinking about one as well.

As it sits it's about 9lbs so "all up" with sling and round it's probably close to 9 1/2 lbs would that sound about right?
