[QUOTE="2ndhandrifles, post: 2742456, member: 125777"] This is my first long range build. 6.5 PRC Tikka T3 Roughtech Lite mounted in an MDT LSS-XL Gen 2 chassis. Added a Little Bastard Gen 3 muzzle break from American Precision Arms and swapped out the bolt handle & knob for one from Atlas works out of Australia. Put a Vortex Razor HD 3-15 x 42 HSR-5i (MOA) on it. Only one test at the range.....little to no recoil, comes straight back just a touch. Tested with 143 gr Norma Bondstrike factory ammo. Son and I were having a bit of an off day but we shot almost identical 1" groups at 200 yds and each hit the center with one of our rounds. I have some 140 gr Nosler AB ammo, 142 gr Nosler ABLR, and some 143 gr ELD-X Hornady Precision Hunter ammo to test with later. I can tell that the scope isn't going to go out to 1000 yds, but will be probably be ok to 600 with an 8" plate painted a bright color. Once I get the right load recipe, this will be a very accurate setup. [/QUOTE]
