6.5 SAUM - what do you think?

[BrentM]

About to finish this rifle. Need Scope and rings. Have an EGW rail for it, but just didn't get it installed yet. Did some cerakoting for the first time and it seemed to turn out fine.

Good looking rig! You will absolutely love the caliber!

What kind of brake is that? Did you do the build yourself?

 

[Scot E]

Is that a 7 SAUM necked down or one of the specialty calibers out now based loosely off the 6.5 SAUM?

Brake is a Little Bastard.

I bought the action and barrel off of a LRH member. The barrel was extremely tight so I wound up spending a lot of time stripping it down and one thing led to another. I had cerakote I wanted to use and gave that a go.

This rifle is using 300 SAUM necked down and neck turned for the 6.5.

Nice looking stick! How does it shoot?

Nice rifle. Those B&C stocks are a pretty solid fit for the money.

Great looking gun! Any idea on optics you want?

This one will have a Vortex. It is going to the field today for load development by a friend. If it comes together today it is going on the mountain tomorrow for a deer hunt. I wish I could be there to set it up but I am heading out today for a hunt as well. If he likes it he is keeping it. I have 3 more projects I need to get to work on. 243, 7mag, and a 6.5-284. I have 204 I will redo after these are done.
