[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 1608007, member: 95013"] I do have experience. IMO it is the best all around 6.5 caliber on the market. Excellent accuracy, velocity, and case capacity, with the ability to run 140 and larger bullets above the 3000 fps threshold....and should get you above 2000 rounds barrel life. Very manageable recoil. Built one last year on a defiance action, 24 inch 1:8 twist CF barrel, Timney Elite trigger set to 2 lbs, and topped it with a Kahles K624 scope. Running 140 grain VLD's with 63.1 grains of H1000 and seeing 3220 fps per the magnetos speed chrono. No issues with pressure and seeing groups in the high 2's. Total rifle weight is 10 lbs 4 oz.
