Ihave a friend, who live here in KY part time, in Fl. part time, Dr. He had bought a Savage 112fp, with the folding tactical Choat stock, 20" heavy .308. This was an outstanding shooter, but after a year or so, and shooting my 6.5 swede and 6.5x.284, at long distance, he had to have one. I disasembled, trued his action, put on a SSS lug, and ordered a 26" vamrint SS Shilen from JIm at Northland. I put on and headspaced, then shot and cleaned every shot for 20rds. I reworked the accutrigger, and slightly under #2, what he wanted. I skim bedded the action. Had a picatinny rail already on it, put burris Zee rings with inserts on it, took 3 tries to find what we needed, Has a burris sig. 6x24x44, Mildot. After we found the right inserts combo, took 4 shots to zero. I fired a 5 shot group, taking my time, just get settled in and shoot. Group was .390! Second group was .375. We stopped there, this was a load I had for my other two 6.5x,284 Savage builds, Moly coated Sierra 142gr's and H=4831, and thru my 30" barrel, about 3000fps, did not chrono his. I am shooting the std. 4831, not the SC, seems I get better accuracy, and used std. Winchester WLR primers, I had some hangfires with CCI benchrest. I feel this is typical with Shilen barrels, never had a bad one, and require little break in. I believe this is the easiest build/loading job I have ever done. I love those 6.5 calibers, I have been thinking about a 6.5 creedmore, any thoughts on that?
