What loads are you thinking? What range to be shot mostly?
Beautiful firearm!
I really admire the cartridge.
Did you cut the chamber for anything particular load OAL wise?

Thanks

Range wise mostly from 100 to 600 yards. If need be it can be stretched to a 1k for FTR class. Only bullets shot thru it so far have been 75 Hornady, 80 Bergers and I have some Hornady Amax that I want to shoot thru it. Maybe try some of the new ATIPs when they are available if the twist is fast enough. I’ve shot the 6mm, both 6.5’s and the 230gr 30cal. ATIPs and all have been awesome.

No I didn’t cut the chamber with the 5.56 Wylde reamer for any particular load. I went with it because it’s got a slightly longer throat then a 223 Rem chamber so I/he can shoot the longer heavier bullets better but didn’t want a really long throat or a 5.56Nato chamber in the barrel.

DDinMN and JW (Jack) Thanks for the nice comments!!!!

I did have second thoughts about modifying the stock to an adjustable cheek piece. I didn’t lose too much sleep over it as it wasn’t one of the stocks with the checkered pistol grip and if I want to return it back to original looking I picked up another stock off of Ebay that was also NOS.

That adjustable cheek piece makes it much easier for a proper cheek weld/viewing thru the scope. Overall it just makes it more enjoyable to shoot.
