[QUOTE="Junglerooster1, post: 1188570, member: 95656"] Well it started as a budget. You know how budgets work, never under and always over lol. I read countless threads on LR calibers and settled on the 6.5 creedmoor. I took a Howa barreled action with a heavy barrel and dropped it into a MDT HS3 chassis w V3 rear stock and Timney Trigger topped off with a Vortex Viper PST 4-16 scope. Weight became a factor as the barrel was heavier than I thought, the rear V3 is a milled aluminum piece. I haven't weighed it but it's 12-14 lbs. I set the trigger @ 1.5 lbs which after being used to hunting rifles took some getting used to. The gun shoots 5 shot groups that can be completely covered with a dime at 100 yards. I reload 140 accubonds with 31.5 grains 8208 it seems to be this rifles favorite [/QUOTE]
