Thread: 6.5 creedmoor 1st range trip

So I have posted in the show us your toys thread
But ill Repeat this bit as some of you might of missed it
So I sold my 260 nice rifle but me and it just didn’t gel

So about 3 weeks ago I ordered its replacement I brought a howa heavy barrel action in 6.5 creedmoor
I ordered a walnut stock Separately from the howa agent

As soon as it arrived I had it sent direct to the gun smith
And had a bunch of work done to it

Glass and pillar bedding
Trigger job
Shortened and threaded
And a couple of other bits

I brought burris Signature zrings and warne steel bases and a new dpt suppressor as id sold my old one with the 260
Temporarily I have mounted my Nikon buck master 4-14x40 sf



I have the reloading gear and a better scope on layby but it be a few weeks
So I brought a couple of packets of this stuff


Got it out to the range yesterday for the 1st time
I shot 12 just getting used to it and getting it zeroed
And shot a couple of groups with the last 8 from the packet
1st group was a 3 shot group aiming at the 0

The group was slightly left so moved it right 2 clicks

2nd group was a 5 shot group
The last 2 shots went way low and right
Not sure what happened there but I noticed the suppressor had come slightly loose so blaming that for now and haven’t included those two shoots in the group



All and all very happy
I can’t wait to get some handloads down it I think if it’s shooting sub moa with factory ammo
It should be a bloody tack driver
