6.5 Sherman Build x 2

[jomoeng]

Me and a neighbor are each having a 6.5 Sherman built. My neighbor deferred to me for the component selection so here are our builds.

Build 1:
Deviant Hunter Long Action
Bartlein 26" fluted barrel - 3b contour - SS - 8tw
Allen Precision small painkiller brake
Jewel Trigger set to 1.5lb
McMillan BDL - 60% black, 20% white, 20% grey
Stock will have rail mount for atlas bipod and 1" decel pad
Surgeon DBM

Build 2:
Trued Rem 700 action - friend had a donor rifle
Bartlein 26" fluted barrel - 3b contour - SS - 8tw
Allen Precision small painkiller brake
Jewel Trigger set to 1.5lb
McMillan A3 Sporter - McMillan Camo
DBM- can't remember brand
Tac ops tactical bolt knob

I am considering the birdsong black-t or another color from them instead of cerakote. Haven't quite decided. I also wasn't 100% sure on whether the small pain killer brakes were the right size for this application.

Both guns are being built by Greg Young of Southern Precision Rifles. He built my 6.5 creedmoor which is a great gun. I have about 10 pounds of reloader 33 in route. I also have 5 pounds of H4831SC in route.

Gotta put a kid to bed so I will add some more info later.

Sounds like some pretty good components. Will be looking forward to seeing how they shoot........Rich
