You will thoroughly enjoy that round...as it drives tacks from very far away. Nice.

That looks badass, and I'd like to hear more about it as you shoot it.

Did you buy this from Kelly Bachand?

She's still a virgin. I have been shooting my 6.5 Creedmoor AR and it also is a tack driver but I will update after a trip to the range.

This rifle is awesome and has opened up a whole new world of shooting for me. I attended my first PRS match this month and plan on doing it a lot more. I joined the UNSC so I would have access to a longer range 550-600yds. I have learned a lot about DOPEing my reloads and how to use a MIL scope and spinning for different distance's under time constraints in awkward shooting positions. I finally have a load and dope worked out to when I went to the range last I was able to set a clay pigeon at 563yds spin my clicks and get a first round hit. Very excited.

That's really cool. One shot at 500 yards for the clay . . . I'm impressed. :bigsmile:

I see two different scopes there. Which one did you settle on?

I started with the SWFA 3.5-15x40 but when the right deal came along I got the Vortex Razor HD 5-20x50 and have not looked back. The SWFA is a great scope and I was able to learn MRAD on it but

the Vortex is definitely top shelf. You can really tell the difference in glass when you start to reach out further. A lot of them are going up for sale used about now with the new Vortex line up about to

drop. I could never muster the gal to put this much money into a scope until I read an article that stated "what good is an expensive long range precision rifle if you cant see the target" and

considered it an investment. Actually had a credit card offer with 0% for 12 months and that made the purchase easier to swallow. Unfortunately I'm spoiled on glass now forever and will probobaly be

considered a glass shnob.

I like the writing on the hand. That would make a hell of a story at work on Monday morning!

Careful. That's an expensive road to go down. Trust me on that.

Ain't that the truth. And if you can't afford it, it just leads to depression

I'm just now seeing this, but I'm so glad that this rifle is getting to stretch its legs into PRS! One round hits on a ~1 MOA target at 500+ yards is very brag-worthy. Well done! I expected the factory stock wouldn't last long, Savage saves a few $ by sending it with that one.
