Two new builds...one last night, and the other last week.
The first rifle pictured in the below photo....I purchased this 20" .223 varmint barrel from the classifieds last week....thanks Bowbrother! Last night I took a .243 collecting dust in the closet and changed out the bolthead and magazine to .223. Screwed on the barrel and mounted a scope. Gotta get out to the range this weekend and see how she does. I think 20" barrels are my favorite. They point so well for me and I have had most of my rifles chopped to 20" in the last year.
The second Rifle is a 6.5 Creedmoor Model 16 that I had the barrel cut to 20". I have been wanting a short and light all weather rifle that I don't have to worry about getting dirty and wet. Last year every time I went deer hunting it seems the weather was foul, and I was always worried about my rifles getting wet and dirty.
I put one of the new Nikon Prostaff 5 2.5-10 scopes on it...great glass by the way. I did get a chance to shoot it and get some loads together, and it shoots great as you can see by the 100yd target pic below with 120 grain Barnes TTSX. I always love it when my predetermined hunting bullet shoots good groups right out of the gate with little to no tweaking!
