Finally Completed

Well gents, it's finally done. Got the stock yesterday and set the rifle up. I'll be hard press to go back to a factory Remington Action after how smooth this one is.

Got to give a shout out to @BurnedOutGeek @K.Lee @Red_SC and few others for letting me pick their brain on this build.

Wife is happy it's finished too.

I'm finally building a left handed rifle for my self after shooting right for 20 or so years.

Purpose will be for competition in PRS style matches and I hope next year to compete in the PRS.

Caliber: Looking at .260 Rem, 6.5/6 Creedmore, 6.5/6x47 Lapua.

Action: Defiance Deviant
Stock: Manners T6a Mini chassis GAP Camo
Trigger: Timney 510
Brake: Little Bastard
Scope: Razor Gen II
Rings: Seekin/Vortex
Bipod: Harris SBRM

Sending the bolt to get it black nitride. Once I get the barrel going to send it to Branden @ http://customguncoatings.com/ or have local guy do it Carolina Coating.

Action

 

[Yosef]

Will most of the work have to be done by a gunsmith? By "work" I mean attaching the barrel to the action and bedding the stock. I just got done with my first AR build, so I am obviously full of myself, but are these bolt builds in a whole other league?

 

[Yosef]

Oh, and that action looks freaking awesome.

Yes the smith cuts the threads, sets the headspace , crown and another other knowledge things.

Thanks!

 

[Yosef]

Oh, right, headspace. That's kind of important from what I've heard. I read some cool stuff about about 27 Nosler if you want a hipster/wildcat caliber.

Recently read an interesting analysis of the top 50 shooters in PRS. 6mm's rule the roost.

The 6mm is a beast, little to no recoil and fast as a bitch, I have a 243 AI that is a monster, getting 3200 while fire forming, I suspect to be 3500 after the brass is all formed up

All it needs now is to have a barrel nut setup like the remage system so you can do your own barrel changes at home. Actually it looks ready to use the barrel nut since the recoil lug is machined to the receiver. If I spent money on an action like that I'd have several different barrels in different calibers to put on it.

That sounds like a lot of work

I agree I would do this also.

 

[John M]

Why not just have a dedicated rig, mans building a comp guy seems like a lot of swapping and tom foolery, but to each their own. j Boyette when is your match good sir, for LR rifle

 

[Djstorm100]

Bolt should be back fro Nitride early next week.

Looks like I'll be going 6/6.5 creed. Thanks to @BurnedOutGeek and his 6mm project I'm rethinking it..lol

Hahaha

I get blamed for entirely too much! Lol

Good choice

you know, If I never took John's class and never went and shot with you I would have alot more money!..LOL I love it though.

So it really is all John's fault!!!

 

[Djstorm100]

Haha, yea he started it.

Seems like guys are getting around 2k out of a 6mm. At the last match a guy had 6.5 with a little bastard and it didn't even move when fired.

 

[BurnedOutGeek]

Did you see Kyle's 6?

It was like a B-B gun.

 

[Djstorm100]

I might have. I saw so many shooter, I can't remember who had what..LOL. I remember one of the team members of Hawk Hill and his wife, maybe? It was her first match and she totally rock my stage. I think they were down 1?

 

[NoKimberDave]

That action looks very expensive.

(Quietly leaves snipers nest and skulks back to Glock thread...)

 

[dubnali]

That sounds like a lot of work

It's really not. Savage guys can do a barrel swap in 30 minutes or less, at the range. If done right, it can be as versatile as the AR platform. I got an older beat up Savage sitting in my safe just for this future purpose.
