Dad just picked his new 6.5x47L up from Joe today. It's starting to get boring when you don't even have to do any load development. This one has the Stainless color Cerekote. As usual, fit and finish is A-1. HS safari stock, 3b bartlein, vias, jewel. He left the bolt jeweled. nightforce rail, seekins rings, vx3 6.5-20. with a little reloading, this one should print some very small holes in the paper.

I have said this a lot but I want to do a custom rifle but just haven't done it yet and I really think Collier will be who does it. Beautiful work for sure.

He does good work, very meticulous. Thats what you want to see in a gunsmith. I've been very pleased with the work he has done for me.

Generous charge of H4350 and either 139 Lapua Scenars or Berger 140's and it will get tighter. I have been shooting this caliber for years....My favorite...Nice rifle..congrats.

it just looks like the 0 in front of the 6

.620 is just a little over 1/2" and .0620 is pretty much one ragged hole

It is a 3 shot group at 100 yards that measures .0620" center to center.

Is this rifle designated strictly for paper punching duty, or is destined for use in the field (a very wiiiiiide field, judging from the way it groups)?

Do we have any groups utilizing hunting bullets? I imagine 120-grain Nosler Ballistic Tips would print almost as good as your scenars.
