Decided to put this short 20" 25 creed together and throw it on the shelf for whoever wants it. First two loads I tried with 133 bergers shot lights out so I have load info for its future owner. The n555 yd group measured .227"@100 for 3 shots. I then tried a 3 shot group at 625 with H4350 and it shot lights out also. 2.02" group and 1.683" vertical for 3 shots. I shot the groups with the Unknown Reaper suppressor on it.

Rifle has the following:
Defiance ANTI w nitride and 2 piece 20 moa rail
Manners Pro Hunter
Benchmark 20" sendero light 7.5 tw
Hawkins Hunter bottom metal and extended mags
Triggertech Special at 1.5 lbs
Nightforce NX8 F2 4-32x MOA

Weighs 8 lbs 10 oz with optics. Bipod not included.

Would you sell less the scope/mounts?
If a customer sends me a scope I will sell it without the one on the rifle currently. I bed the scopes into rings so its stress free, 100% perfect fit, and wont slip in the rings. I don't offer any accuracy guarantees with alot of scopes out there. Nightforce, Kahles, Tangent, ZCO, and March wont allow the reticle to move due to recoil in lightweight magnums. This isnt a magnum obviously. But Ive seen a pile of other optics on the market that will move 3/8" or more at 100 yds in 10 shots. I have a jig that measures it. Its not shooting groups to see if the reticle moves. Nightforce NX8 is by far the most popular scope I use for these lighter hunting builds. They handle abuse and the reticle doesn't move.
 
What velocity are you getting?
The barrel hasnt sped up since it only has like 20 rounds down it. I used mild loads of h4350 and was 2675 fps and the n555 load was mild and 2635 fps. The velocity for the factory ammo was pretty spot on. Only 40-50 fps slower than stated on the box. Shorter barrel but hasn't sped up yet.

Man Ryan, I would've loved to have this for NRL Hunter this year if it would've made PF. Another great build.

Thanks. I just got a load dialed in with another powder thats at 2800-2810 fps with no pressure. Barrel still hasn't sped up yet. Just under 50 rounds down it. Should be around 2875-2900 once it speeds up. The node is atleast .6 gr wide and held under 3" vertical at 900 for the 3 shot group loaded in the middle of the node as well as the .6 gr wide node on the ladder. X6.4, X6.6, X6.8 and X7.0 gr was 2.5" vertical at 900 yds. Ended the test at X7.0. Didn't go higher yet as the barrel isn't broken in and the brass is virgin. No sense in trying to push it until it speeds up and brass is fired. Both times I shot it at 100 yds it was in the .2s. I have a customer using that load for his nrl hunter. His 24" is running the 135 at 2950 and his 27" is 2990. No pressure. I think he was a grain under where signs started. I didn't go higher as the barrel hasn't sped up and the brass was still virgin. I tried a .283 and .281 bushing. Groups didn't change. Both in .2s. Pic is 3 of X6.6 gr and a 133 berger. Haven't even touched seating depth in his rifle. Half tempted to keep it for myself. Take it off my hands so Im not tempted too hard LOL
