So I picked up a new Savage 12FV in 6.5 CM on a black Friday deal at Cabela's. It has a blind 4 round mag and a heavy 26" tube. After sale price and rebate it was only $219
It's just been sitting in the safe, tags, stickers and all.
Well, I got my bonus from work so it's time to get this rifle put together! I made some purchases today online. Now that I have decided to pretty much use my Rem 700 .308 as a cast gun, this 6.5 will be my new long range (500-1200 yard) jacketed rifle.
I ordered an SWFA 10x42 SS scope with Mil/Mil adjustments.
SWFA bubble level
Vortex low 30mm rings
SWFA 2" sun shade
Flip up lens caps
EGW 20MOA one piece base
Blackhawk 9"-13" Bipod
Boyd's Pro Varmint stock with adjustable cheek piece (black textured paint) that will probably get a camo paint job.
Hornady 140gr ELD's will be a good place to start. H4350 and IMR 4451 will be the powders I'll try first.
I have 50 pieces of brand new Starline brass with small primer pockets.
I am really considering a Forster Ultra Micrometer seat die.
I have these for my .223, .308, and .338 Lapua and I absolutely LOVE them. Worth every penny.
So I'll show it off in the next week or two depending on how long it takes all this stuff to show up and when I get time to put it together.
