Terminus Zeus “King of Gods”

[Joel Russo]

I ordered a prefit barrel from Bugholes chambered is 6.5 Creedmoor, and screwed it on my quick change Zeus action. Did some load development this weekend and landed here.

Lessons to be learned here...
If both the action manufacturer and guy producing the pre fit barrel do their job, the results can be quite good.
Barrel guy does not need your action.
I hold .0015" headspace tolerance on every Terminus action I ship. I also publish a tennon print on the website which is an easy guide for the guy doing the barrel.
Terminus is the refined 3 lug action.

Wow, great shooting and nice rifle. I am not used to seeing one of your stocks not being wood.

Fantastic! Love seeing whats possible and obtainable off of your actions.

Pretty good for basically a benchrest rifle. My mdt ess kitted up with all my weights is around 26#.

Joel, can you go thru your process of installing the pre fit barrel... torque specs, gauges used, etc...?

This may sound too easy, but it's the process...

I put the action in a soft jaw vice, screw the barrel on hand tight. Tighten both set screws hand tight or 10 in/lbs.

Go shoot.

That's some great shooting! Great looking rig!
