[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 869653, member: 4686"] I've been running a Pierce CM SA in 6.5x47 for 3 years now. .3 to .5 moa accurate and I love it. The 'smith who put it together did not insure it fed reliably. I sent it to Pierce and they had things worked out in short order. Didn't charge me anything. My action is holding a 24.5" #3 Broughton set in a McMillan Rem Sporter Edge filled with a 1" Pachmyer pad and PTG BDL BM. 6 lb 11 oz with no base, rings nor scope.

Here, a Rem 700 LA in 30-06AI using a super thin Lilja barrel that has a very short cylinder that has also been turned down in diameter just forward of the action.
