As always, very nice!

Sweet looking rifle

 

[Truc]

Good looking rifle, I'm interested to see how she shoots. I have been kicking around the idea of opening up my 260, it also has the Brux #4 barrel on it.

 

[Shooter264]

My other one shoots beautifully.

 

[trucraft]

Looks amazing.
Might rebarrel my 7saum to 6.5 one day.

 

[Shooter264]

First groups with the new 6.5 SAUM. Not too shabby with virgin brass and +.004 runout

130's

 

[BMF]

How fast are you shooting the 130s with that H1000 charge?

 

[Shooter264]

Didn't chrono these today but in my other saum they run about 3300 with 65 grains of ramshot magnum. I'm guessing these are in the 3250-3275 range.

 

[BMF]

Whew......smoking. Any reason for trying the H1000 over the Ramshot?

 

[Shooter264]

None other than I have a ton of it and it'll work good for break in. H1000 is what most of the guys are shooting out of their 6.5 saums. I use Ramshot magnum in my other one and it works well. I will try it in this one as well when the bbl is broke in

 

[Nieko]

Awesome rifle! Who dipped your game scout? Isn't it Kuiu Verde camo?

 

[Shooter264]

It's kuiu vias. Not sure of the company's name that did it. My smith had it done.
