[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1514102, member: 313"] I have a LH Browning Hell's Canyon McMillan in 6.5 Creed. I had two issues with the rifle which were easily remedied. 1. The trigger was ok but I wanted something better in a LR rifle. I put in a Timney and am satisfied with it. I would have installed a better trigger but the Timney is the only one I could find. When the Timney is installed, the bolt release button is no longer functional. 2. The brake is fake IMO. It is a hollow tube with radial holes and a grossly oversized exit hole. Mine was large enough to shoot 338s through. I put a contoured matched Vais brake on it even though a 6.5 Creed doesn't need a brake at all. With those two issues taken care of I started load development. I ended up shooting Berger 135gr Classic Hunter bullets over 47.0 RE26 in Lapua cases. This load is shooting into 1.25" at 400 yds. Not bad for an almost totally stock rifle. [/QUOTE]
