[QUOTE="devildogg, post: 993994, member: 25586"] Hey all I've been a lurker for quite a while on here and recently I put together a rifle for an up coming once in a lifetime elk hunt. I used a savage model 16 that was a 204 and turned it into a 6.5x47 lapua. I used this site and several others for some answers to some of my questions. My biggest decision was my barrel and I decided to go with mcgowen. I had read a lot of mixed reviews on them and wasn't sure what to expect. I called them and they were unreal to work with. I ordered the barrel on a Friday and received it the next Thursday and they recontoured it for me. So now I had all my parts and I put it all together in about an hour it was really easy to do it went together a lot easier than I thought it would have. Here are some pics I'm pretty proud of it the load I settled on was 41.5gr of reloader 17 and 130 gr accubonds.
