Default 6.5 Creedmoor Build !

I picked up a Stiller Predator SA Single Shot action about a year ago and have been collecting parts since, wanted it to look like a hunting rifle but perform like a target rifle.......so here's what Gunsmith Gary Flach put together for me.

28" Bartlein SS Sendero Contour, 1-8 twist 5R barrel

Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor

Timney Calvin Elite set at 1lb

Wildcat Var-Tac stock, palm swell and a cool green paint job

Talley's holding a Zeiss V4 6-24x50 scope

Gary Gunkoted everything in a new awesome looking Green/Black brushed Stainless Gunkote (custom blend)

That is a sweet looking rifle for sure!

Do you happen to know what it weighs?

Very nice. Also curious on a weight. You should get good speed out of that 28" barrel. What bullet powder combo are you planning to load?

That’s a very very nice rifle! Good work. I’m curious how it shoots so don’t be shy after range day. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for all the kind words, 10lbs 8.5oz without the bipod , and yes soon as I can get to the range I will be working it over with several factory loads to see what it likes and will handload from there, R26 seems to be working well with the CM and in my 6.5 PRC so I will start with that and hopefully 143 gr Eld-x and 140gr AB
