Yeah all numbers matching. Paid 1200, probably around about right these days. It’s won a few of the Service Rifle shoots over the years apparently. I was going to take it to the range tomorrow but….

I will get into reloading for it eventually but for now I’m going to practice my shooting skills with factory stuff.

A cousin of mine used to name all his horses after his ex-girlfriends, thinking something like that may be appropriate here lol

Nice. What length barrel and what does it weigh bare?

24 inch barrel and 6.6lbs. I wouldnt recommend buying a 6.5PRC in the middle of an ammo shortage. It took a fair bit of ringing around to pull all of the reloading components together. Managed to run it in before lockdown. It shot well, sub 1MOA groups without any tinkering.

Grant, you might need to find two stock packs to get you aligned through that scope or lower mounts?

yeah, i've got 6.5 and a .308 still trying to figure out why the hype made me buy a 6.5 . .308 is better, unless you are a girly boy how can't stand recoil.

Yep. Sure do. I was just reusing the rings and bases I had on hand. Haven't got a riser yet. Any you recommend?

@nowool haha yep I held on to my trusty 308 as well. That's what the scope came off. I'm putting a Zeiss terra 3x 4-12 back on the 308. Excited to shoot some more 6.5 needles though

Grantn, if your going to use a 56 mm obj, first I’d try to get mounts that put the scope bell as low as possible. Right on the barrel without touching it. The twin needle stock pack looks pretty good but a piece of closed cell foam and duct tape work well also and is cost effective!

Just waiting on the darkness… Thanks @Sarvo

Same rifle....same scope but now my eyelid doesn't twitch everytime I look at it.

This is my new toy. Tikka t3x in 270, SHV 5-20x56 on top with a DPT can. Not as expensive or fancy as some of the other cool rigs on this forum, but I saved up for it and I'm pretty proud. Now all I have to do is find somewhere in Canterbury to sight it in.

^ Nice man

This project is always changing but am pretty stoked about the current set up.

Tikka CTR action
Hardy 260 rem barrel
KRG X-ray stock
Kahles K624i

Has served be pretty well in the Precision rifle comps over the past year
