Its done by adjusting the entire die (the main body). You will need a datum bushing to attach to your calipers to make sure you are adjusting to the right length.

The cheek rest is a karsten and yes you have to drill holes. These are about the best cheek rest you can have. I plan to do another shilen just like the one below but just have not decided on a caliber yet. May do 6.5x284 or may go all out and do a 338 lapua.

Sightron SIII 6-24X50 FFP LRMOA is the scope. I would sell the scope with the gun but I will need it for my next build.

I always bump the shoulder .0015 to .0020. I have found this will give you the best accuracy and make it that all rounds will chamber. If you only neck size your case will sooner or later become to big and have to bump.

Yes it shoots identical to yours that you bought from me.

I keep telling people if you are looking for powder go to www.gunbot.net/reloading/powder they just had some H1000 and Ramshot. May still have some

We scouted for three weeks for gobblers and learned there was 3 hanging out with 1 hen on the same hill weekend after weekend. When opening day came only 2 gobblers remained. We tried but with no success to get them to come to us on Friday, Saturday, & Monday. On monday we finally called one all the way down to us about 500 yards from his roost only to have him work around us at 125 yards out. Where did they all go is all we could wonder. Knowing we needed to get to them we went in quietly with all our gear and got setup by 5:10 within 100 yards of their roost. At 5:20 or so I could see pretty well so I fired up the FoxPro with a fly down crackle. With a hen decoy and a chicken on a stick setup at 10 yards in front of me and my dad holding the other chicken on a stick behind me, we figured if this did not work nothing will. We let out a couple of yelps and a couple of gobbles. Within seconds we hear a gobble to our right and then another gobble to our left. 2 minutes later I have the gobbler from the right at less than 10 yards. Knowing he was not the one I wanted I waited to see if the other would appear and hope not to have wasted an opportunity at the first one. Next thing I know I see a big Tom pop out at 55 yards from behind a juniper, knowing 55 yards was too far for me I passed again. All he wanted was a look at what was making the noise and he went back behind the juniper. As soon as he did that I hear 2 gobble. Knowing that now there was 3 on the hill the other one has to peek and I hoped he would be closer. I kept them interested with the excited hen that the other could not resist. When he peeked his head out at 45 yards I knew I could get a good shot. As soon as the gun goes off my dad and I get up with our chicken on a stick and run up to the gobbler flopping around. We got to within 5 feet of the other gobbler alive. He had no idea what we were or what was going on. He stood around gobbling at us and the flopping turkey for about 3 to 5 minutes before slowing working away. We have never experienced anything like we did today. I just wished my son and nephew would have been there. They would have been laughing so hard. Being with my dad today and seeing him next to that alive turkey so close to each other made a memory and story for life.

Sweet rig. I've been wanting to do a big build like this. May have to sell my other savage 6.5 creedmoor to fund.

I have actually ranged out to 2400 with my br2.

Nice

I have so much fun with mine. Half the time I am using it when I don't even have my rifle.

http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2015/04/muzzle-threading-dont-remove-too-much-steel/ Thought I would share this with you guys just in case you decide to get a barrel threaded at the muzzle for suppressors/muzzle breaks.

Actually the G7BR2 is better than the Leica.

Happy Birthday

I bought a mosberg 835 turkey model and put a 1 piece base and added a truglo red dot sight. Probably the best thing I have done. You can get her to a perfect zero at whatever range you desire. Cost is low around 100.00 I believe. http://www.amazon.com/weaver-multi-slot-base-system-mossberg/dp/b00162sb3e http://www.truglo.com/optics-red-dots/gobble-stopper-30mm-dual-color.asp?catid=52E3D7409570433EBF69FA2CBEB51CA6

I have found every rifle is different from when its READY to shoot. I have too tested about everything i can even down to primer seating depth. On one of my rifles Savage 6.5 CM Shilen sss match barrel 26" it can be clean or dirty and it still hits its spot perfectly. Now my new rifle Shilen Custom 6.5 Shilen sss match barrel 26" it takes exactly 5 shots to be right on after a complete barrel clean. I usually shoot around 10 rounds so I know I have a good coating in the barrel. I then will take it out to 800 yards the next day. the first shot is always right on. Then i will try it again in the evening the following day at again 800 yards and again it is right on. Every gun is different and have seen guns take up to 15 rounds to get right on (but those were factory barrels). So try this next time you go out. Set up your chrono and make a precise shot at 100 yards with a clean bore. Foul the barrel out and the following day do the same test set up the chrono and fire at 100 yards, Then make sure you take great notes and do the test multiple times to see what is going on. I have also found out that the savage did the same thing my new rifle was doing until i hit around 300 rounds. So it may take a few more rounds to get her able to shoot cold bore, clean bore, and fouling perfectly. Then again it may never do it and it may take 5 to 10 rounds to be on. But once she is she should not change and if she does you may look at the rings/scope to see if there is a problem. Thats why I always ream my rings (same thing as lapping but A LOT faster) to make it as true as possible. I read an article that stated if you do not lap your rings your impact will shift as the gun sets over time.

I have a 24A tag and over the weekend had 3 gobblers gobbling to my Glass call on Saturday. Then on Sunday went to another area and had 1 Gobble in one location and the second location videoed 3 Gobblers strutting for 1 hen. This was all in 24A. I have tag 1 of 2 on the first hunt. I have already spent WAY too much on calls and decoys so I had better get one...

I have an Atlas PSR, Harris, and TriClawps. The triclawps is great for shooting sitting out to 800 yards and standing out to 500 yards. The triclawps works well when used with a beefy tripod otherwise range will be shorter. The atlas is probably the BEST bipod I have ever owned being that it is very stout and not as flimsy as the harris. Harris is good but when comparing to the atlas it can't compete. The price of the harris though will beat the atlas. The atlas is one of those items that you hate to buy but once you do you will wonder why you didn't buy it in the first place. I have the quick release model on the atlas and can change from one rifle to the next in seconds. I would rather shoot prone but when you can't the TriClawps works perfectly. Atlas PSR Harris Triclawps

I tried the Extra Full carlson chock and hornady #5, Winchester #4, and Heavy Shot Magnum which is a mix of 5,6,7. Out of all three I can keep a 10" circle at 35 yards with only one and thats the Heavy Shot. I have now bought 2 chokes and 5 different loads to experiment with all. Heavy shot will be my go to round but word to the wise it kicks like a freakin mule. LOL

You mean Mark? If so tell him congrats.

I found that a great lightweight youth gun in the 6.5 Creedmoor cal is the Ruger American Predator very affordable and very accurate. BUT the only issue is no one has them. They are selling like hot cakes.

You can always check at gunbot.net/reloading/powder Gunbot checks places like Natchez, midsouth, powder valley, cabelas, grafs, ect for ANY powder inventory. When these sites put it up for sale then it shows up IMMEDIATELY on gunbot website. I usually have to watch the site for about 3 to 5 days (checking in on my phone) every hour or so. I just go to the site and keep it up when I get ready to check the site I just refresh and the new items will show on top takes seconds to check when saved to your favorites. You can do this with brass, bullets, powder, ammo, primers, ect. I use H4350 and have to stop looking because I end up buying. Check it out. Its better then going to each website.

From last announcement on release days from AZGFD will be early to mid week they said this to the public years back. They use to always come out on fridays BUT they have found if you had questions or problems you had to wait till monday. So they changed that aspect and most of the time it is monday, tuesday I have seen Thursday but like JDUB said its been YEARS since they have been released on a friday.

Congrats again to that young lady. Thanks again for sharing Garrett. Love the video.

If you just load any load and any seating depth then yes you will have a speed and weight of bullet. BUT is that load ACCURATE? probably not. So hence the work up of a load till you find your right powder, primer, seating depth, ect. Then when all that is figured out you can get the speed and all the other info needed to get the custom turret. I don't rely on custom turrets just because temperature, humidity, Station Pressure will be changing all the time. Better to take current reading and dial from there.
