New rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor with Arken 6-24X50 rifle scope - so far I'm pretty happy with both of them. Anyone else using one?

I don't have this rifle or one with that cartridge, but that's a beauty !
Good luck with it ......

My friend says it's too easy to shoot so well.
Is this with commercial ammo ?Quote:

The only way I see to post a picture here is to up-load it to a picture hosting site like smugmug.com then link the picture using the "insert image" icon you can see when you start or reply to a thread. Just hit reply and you'll see the icons above the text box, the insert image icon is sixth from the right on the middle row. Hover the cursor over it and it'll say insert image.
https://imgbb.com/ is the hosting site I use. Download, click on the picture, copy & paste the “BBCode” link in your message to have picture show. No joining or email required. The alternative is to join the forum which enables picture download here.
It's been so dang hot that I haven't gotten out for a second round with the Axis. Central Texas is hot, but having day after day of 104-106 is not normal -- especially since it started in May!. On the other hand, I've ordered dies, powder, and bullets and cleaned the brass I have so I'm ready to work up some loads if I can find large rifle primers. I've managed to find small rifle and small and large pistol primers so things are looking up. The problem is, you are limited to ordering 2-3 of whatever they have in stock and between the shipping and hazmat costs, it's expensive. Those fees are pretty much the same whether you order 1 or 10 boxes or primers or pounds of powder so being limited drives up the cost.
I wish you would change. :)Quote:

LOL! You are the ONLY one that see all the pics I post. Not sure what system you are using that prevents it. I guess I could post through the Forum, but it just wastes storage space here.Quote:

For the next level in accuracy you might also consider a good seating die. At longer ranges it makes a difference.

You aren't alone. I'm done outside by 9:30.Quote:
