Lightweight 6.5 WSM Build

I just finished a 6.5 WSM as light as I can go with enough barrel for a 16 oz. suppressor.

Long action Pierce titanium action with titanium recoil lug and pinned aluminum rail, cerakoted with Elite Smoke
Manners EH1
Proof Research 1:8 26" carbon barrel
Timney Calvin Elite
Elk Meadow titanium muzzle brake
Remington BDL bottom metal
7 lbs. 0.5 oz.

Very nice. I like all of your components.

I agree with scf. Nice setup. How long did you have to wait for the eh1?

Found it in stock at Stockys a while back. It's actually an EH4. Mistype in the original post. I also found a T2 in stock a couple weeks ago.

Good find- I've been checking with them on a regular basis. Thinking about trying the eh5 if I can find one. 5-6 months out at mcs

They said they're going to quit carrying Manners due to the lead times and delivery. Get 'em while they're there.

That's good to know thanks for the info.

Here it is finished. 8 lbs. 15.5 oz. with scope and muzzle brake.

Very nice set up. Looking forward to hearing what load you settle on and a range report.
