[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 967085, member: 13632"] My brother finally decided to end his career as a college student and graduate with his last degree so Dad and I thought it would be an excellent reason to put together a 6.5 Sherman for him. This rifle started life as a Winchester Mod 70 push feed that was scored at a gun show then stripped. Action went into the truing jig and the critical surfaces trued up, a Benchmark 5R fluted #5 barrel then got chucked up and it was fitted and chambered for the no neck turn 6.5 Sherman, then a Hollands Radial Baffle brake was fitted. Then it got Cerakoted burnt bronze which really turned out awesome, the bolt was left to let him decide if he wanted it fluted or re jeweled. The stock is a Precision Stock Works which is one of my favorite stocks, we bedded everything down and used a PTG Oberndorf bottom metal, tuned up the factory trigger, installed a Nightforce rail and a rail for the bipod with a Vortex HS-T topping it of. As Dad and I were putting this together we just kept adding stuff, a Pelican case showed up and the rifle was fitted to it, rear bag and a cleaning kit was put in and two 20 round ammo cases. It is a fully inclusive precision rifle kit so all he now needs to do is remember his tags and he's GTG :D I'll have to find some group pics but it's a shooter, it's going to be tough for him to choose a bullet and load!!
