What are the weights of your rifles? You have two of the stocks on my short list and your builds are close to what I'm doing. Thanks

Not the best pic's, sorry.

Lone Peak Razor Ti short action
Proof Research 24" Sendero Lite 1 in 8 twist barrel
Hawkins Precision muzzle break, bottom metal and long range hybrid low rings
McMillian Game Hunter stock GAP Transition Camo (27.8 oz)
Trigger Tech Primary Trigger set at 2 lbs
Wyatt's extended center feed mag box, spring, follower
Zeiss V6 3-18X50 Zmoa 2 reticle (23.8 oz)

6.5 PRC barreled action put together by GA Precision (4 lbs 0.6 oz), metal parts cerakoted sniper grey, rifle weighs 6 lbs 3 oz without scope and rings, 7 lbs 15 oz as is. 2978 fps with hornady precision hunter factory ammo with 143 gr ELD-X bullet. That's a 5 shot group in the pic with the left hole being a clean bore and the other 4 in the same hole...almost. When I shot this group I waited about a minute between each shot, I can't seem to get it to group this well when shooting a 5 shot string. I thought the carbon fiber barrel was supposed to help with POI shift but maybe its just me. Also, I just got this thing put together a few months back and all my shooting so far has been in the cold, around 30 degress F. So maybe that's part of it.

Just went through this entire thread to see if I posted my beloved 6.5. It is a .260 Ackley built on a BAT Tactical action with Badger bottom metal, Brux MTU taper 30 inch barrel in 8 twist, Recoil Eliminator Brake, Jewell trigger, and a NF ATACR with T-3 reticule, all in a McMillian A5 stock. It is shown with a Sig Sauer Tango 6 5-30 that served until the NF could be assembled and delivered.

I shoot Berger Hybrid 140's at a conservative 2950 with incredible results. Load is 45.6 of H4350 with a .052 jump.

AR-10 style with Vortex Razor Gen 2 and JP Parts, built it because the state of Washington doesn't want me to have an AR style gun. Now I have it I love the platform and this thing shoots lasers.

This is my 6.5-284. Started life as a $199 Remington 783 in 30-06. Goal with this rifle was just to learn and experiment on the cheap.
-Criterion bull barrel. 1:8 twist.
-PTG bottom metal and AI mag.
-Bedded action myself.
-Was my first time installing a barrel and setting headspace.

I don't really care for the looks of the muzzle brake but there aren't a lot of options for a muzzle diameter that girthy. This rifle is fun to shoot. It doesn't recoil or muzzle jump at all when fired. I purchased the stencils and Cerakote to do the whole thing in digital camo, but life threw me a curve ball a couple years ago and I have a dozen unfinished rifle projects.

Not as fancy as all of the rest posted here. But I do have less invested into this than many factory stock rifles, it was fun to put together myself, it's fun to shoot, and for some reason it gets a ton of attention when people see it. I always get questions... Quite the conversation starter.

 

[460 magnum]

That muzzle break is definitely different lol but hey it works.
