Nice looking gun. What barrel did you go with? What made you go with 6.5 Creedmoor? I just ordered all the parts today for my own build. I was looking at .260 Rem and 6.5 Creedmoor and went with .260 Rem. The deciding factor for me, as trivial as this may sound, was I couldn't get Lapua brass for the 6.5 CM but I could for .260 Rem.

26" Shilen varmint contour from Jim at Northland. The 6.5 Creedmoor is becoming one of my favorites after getting a model 12 LRP. I thought about a 260 but have everything for a Creedmoor already. The goal was to drop a little weight compared to the LRP and ad some color. I see a lot of cookie cutter guns and wanted something different. Not bashing anybody elses. Thanks for the comments.
