nice!
Looks great, great shooting
Very nice! care to share the load you were shooting?
Does the barrel copper really bad ? I owned 2 of these guns in 243 and both coppered really bad !
Mine is a .260rem, coppers a little-not as bad as my Brownings, but accuracy seems to improve as it fouls!Quote:

I'm sighted in a couple inches high at 100 it's hitting where I want
As far as barrel fouling haven't got to shoot much because I had to send the scope of that I bought for it. I was shooting hornady 129 SST
My first comment was made in jest!!!! Some folks think you should have all your shots in the center!!! My wife is one of them...Quote:

Thanks I did realize that later. I can't wait to get scope back to do some long distance shooting
What's the weight of the rifle with scope and bipod?
Weighs 13.6
I have the same gun, but with the older style HS Precision stock. Mine shoots similar-sized groups 1/3 to 1/2 the time. But always sub-MOA. And yes, mine does copper something fierce.
I have the same rifle. It will do that @ 200 yards.....it's sick man! I put the cross hair right on groundhogs teeth at 200 yard's . REDMIST
I have had mine for a year and a half probably. Its 6.5CM and it will shoot. Havnt had an issue with copper fouling. I only shoot 140 Amax in it. The first time I shot it it shot well before I was ready! That target trigger is very light. I have learned to love it. This is my first group with it at 100 yards when I got it. You will love the target!

Anyone who loves a good shooting target gun will love one of these.
I do field and box stand hunt with it, but you dont want to carry it too far. I used a refrigerant scale which is pretty accurate and it came in at 14 pounds 11 oz. That is a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP riding on it.
Nice,Just bought a LRP in 6.5 cm myself.
You mean 5 shots and it didnt even knock over the can? At least tell us it was full.Quote:

Well i was just joking, but i am surprised the can stood for 5 shots. I would have bet against that.
Got on in 260 on the delivery truck as we speak! Can't wait!
I have a Savage Predator Hunter in 260 to go with my LRP 6.5CM. IT IS 24" instead of the CM 26". I have been having a hard time being successful with reloading for it compared to the CM. I am about 2750 on my CM reloads and I just cant seem to get accuracy out of the 260 at higher velocities. I am gonna try the 120gr range on the 260 and see what happens. I did notice that Savage designs the CM around 140's and the 260 around 120's. It says so in the last page of the manual anyway. I use the 6.5 for target and it is awesome. I use the 260 for hunting as it is alot lighter. My CM with a Vortex PST 6-24x50 weighs right at 16 pounds with the bipod, but I still use it for box stand hunting open areas.
If I didnt reload I would have to sell the 260!
Factory match rounds are alot higher than the Hornady 6.5CM, and they shoot great!
You will enjoy the LRP. It sent a few of my friends with remmy 700's home to figure out how to outshoot it. They have alot more money in theirs also!
