My newest Creedmoor

[Txhillbilly]

I put this one together last fall,and it's a shooter.
The pic was taken before my trigger arrived,so there's no trigger shown.



Shilen DGR LH action w/20 moa rail
Shilen Select Match 26" Varmint Contour 1-8 twist / 6.5 Creedmoor threaded for my suppressor's
KRG Whiskey 3 LH chassis
IOR Valdada Recon 4-28x50 scope
ARC M10 medium 40mm rings
TriggerTech Special trigger set at 1.5#
Atlas Bi-pod
Thunder Beast 30-P1 suppressor
Cerakoting was done by Trinity Ordnance in Lake Worth,TX. They do great work really cheap!

This is by far the most expensive rifle that I've ever owned/assembled,but it shoots and feels really good.
I have two loads that I shoot with it right now,Reloader 17 & H4350,and I'm satisfied with it. The farthest I've shot it so far is 1793 yards.

Nice!

Looks solid! Always enjoyed the accuracy I saw from my Shilen DGR. How is it treating you ejection/extraction wise?

The ejection/extraction is just fine. Most shooters that have issues with the Savage style bolts are the cause of most of the issues. They cycle the bolt too slowly, then the case will come out of the chamber and has time to hit the inside of the action, thus it gets knocked out of the jaw of the extractor and doesn't get ejected out of the action.
if you operate the bolt in a smooth swift action, you will never have that issue.

Very Noice....Congrats....That's a keeper.

Wow! That's impressive. You gotta love it when a "plan", I mean a build, comes together like that

[LoneWolf]

Mine would always turn cases 180* and drop them right back in the action. It drove me insane no matter how I ran the bolt!

I had that same problem with my Axis..... It was the detent ball, extractor and the spring that needed replaced. Haven't had it happen since.

I bought and installed the upgrade kit to no effect. Even tried the "Magnum" spring on the ejector. I ended up trading the action and bought my first Mausingfield.

I had problems with my old 12 FLVSS 223, but I wore that rifle out. I bought a new bolt head/parts, and it's been fine since.

I can make any of my Savage's drop a case in the port, but only if I cycle the bolt slowly.

Killer looking rifle. What did you use for that distance, 147gr bullets? I took my LRP to 1600yds yesterday with 140s and it was a little difficult, only 4 hits out of 20 into a 16" target with factory hornady 140 ELD Ms.

What scope are you using? That IOR he is running has mass amounts of Elevation (MOA or MIL) on the turrets. Those are TRULY top of the line. Would love to run one of those, but would have to sell all of my rifles and then liquidate the 401K to pay for it. LOL!

I shoot the 143 gr ELD-X bullet in this rifle,and the Berger 140 VLD out of my Savage action 6.5 CM. You gotta get high velocity to get it out there,I'm running right at 2900 fps using Reloader 17 and Lapua brass

I love that scope! If I didn't shoot LH,I would've probably put a S&B or Nightforce ATACR on it. The IOR and Kahles are the only high end LH friendly scopes on the market when it comes to parallax adjustment.

I'm a lefty too! I feel your pain as we get overlooked for just about everything... particularly in the firearm department. I have the Sightron SIII 6-24x50 with the side parallax adjustment... it's the most friendly to us lefties that I've been able to put my hands on. That IOR though....

Got it, thanks.
