Savage Stealth in 6.5 - First impressions.

[Palmaris]

Double check the data on strelok. I use that program and find errors on some of there bullets.
Thank you Sir for warning. I will.
Did you find for 6.5 Creedmoor or for other calibers? I have direct contact to the guy and can point him to this errors.

I use the pro version. Found bc on 338 Hornady 285 ELD was off. Think there was one on 308 to but been awhile. Need to write this stuff down so I can send in the info.

What is your LOP with that folder installed? I ordered the same stock and I'm thinking it may be okay fully collapsed but adding almost 2" might be too much.

Those pics right after I recieved folding unit. After that I cut about 1/2" from the thread on pipe to get rid of castle nut and it is happened to be perfect for me. I will measure LOP tonight and will post it.

[Palmaris]

Just measured LOP and it came up 13 and 5/8". There is no way to make it shorter. But XLR is offering shorter tube to compensate length of FU. In my case-I don't need it, I am right on the money with this LOP
Here is pic how FU looks now. In my opinion it is much cleaner then with castle nut.

How are you preventing the tube from rotating without the castlenut. Did you locktite it in?

Nope. First of all, there are 7and half revolution left on the pipe, so I screw her in all the way, tightened with belt wrench, and then on the bottom, I drilled/taped hole 6-48 and put screw.

Alternate Magazines - Magpul makes a pretty good unit - Magpul PMAG AC Magazine AICS Short Action 308 Winchester Polymer Black - https://www.midwayusa.com/product/152100/magpul-pmag-ac-magazine-aics-short-action-308-winchester-polymer-black
Midway sells for around 37 bucks. There are 2 models, above works and not had any issues. I am looking to see what Accurate Mag will fit as I have those on 300WM and 338 Lapua and they are excellent but pricey.

Thank you Sir.
Here is another teaser. New bolt handle. I modified couple of weeks ago stock "ball", but didn't like, too bulky. This time I made it much slimmer. Material for handle is ULTEM 2300, 30% Glass filled.

Nice, wish I had the machinery to make items.

[zr600]

Ok I'm thinking about a stealth in 6.5 now does this have the target accutrigger or just a standard accutrigger?

It's the standard accutrigger.

Hello guys.
I got my hardware from "jail". She has 24" barrel, so no worries there.
What a beauty!!

Bolt face to the end of the barrel

[Betterlate]

Thank you, drybean that helps a lot. Now that I know that my barrel is a true 24"I can focus on other parts for her.
