Bolt action love?

[wildman9907]

My customer built 6.5 creedmoor, Big Horn action, Hawk Hill Custom barrel, Manners T4 stock, all built by Patriot Valley Arms in Exton, PA. Have not shot it yet (still waiting for new scope rings) but I must say Josh @ Patriot was a pleasure to deal with and I am not a patient person( not good when getting a custom built rifle). Steiner 5-25x56 scope, obviously not mounted correctly again waiting on the rings.

well had it out for the first time on Saturday, and I must say I love it. first bolt gun and ALOT to learn but I cnt wait for some more range time and training classes.
updated pics with everything mounted up.

Great looking rifle there arrrrgh15. Like I said Josh is great to deal with, mine will be going back for final cerakote I was just anxious to get shooting. November or so he will get it back. I also have not done any matches signed up for two training classes before I attempt that lol.

Winner, winner chicken dinner. As the McDonald's commercials say: I'm loving it.

I didn't realize those hit the street yet. They look like a really great package.

Tikka CTR and a Ruger Precision Rifle

Really sharp rifles in the thread. Nice new rifle Wildman and Cap'n. I haven't seen this new Ruger Precision Rifle yet, but I've been pretty busy with work. It looks really nice, and has some really nice features (I just looked them up). I did have one question for you. Was there a particular reason for choosing that scope mount? I've definitely seen similar mounts on AR's for other optics, but never seen one mounted up like that for precision work. As a long range guy, I think it would make me a little nervous.

Not its final form. Gun came in a lot quicker than I expected, 11 days. I hadn't ordered rings or a scope for it so I threw on what I had available. The 1" rings that the Ziess was in were to low and that mount was all I had in 1"
