Had a great start to the week. We got a chance to spend some time in South Texas with Jada Johnson Host of Big Boy Adventures. We have been sponsoring Jada's show on Sportsman Channel and Wild TV for 2 years now. Jada has never really shot past 400 yards, and the ranch had a good range. So we took advantage of showing off some of the guns and shooting tips. We let her try out the 6.5 Creed that we are giving away at DSC as she has only been using a 7 mag and a 300win, so I thought she would appreciate the mild recoil. After getting an idea what the wind was doing at 400 yards with 2 shots. I dialed up the scope and told her to try 2 shots at 600. Needless to say you cant get much better than that. This gun had 7 shots through it and that group was shot with factory 140 grain Amax ammo. We later shot my 22 creed out to to 900 and we had a blast. And someone at DSC is going to get one heck of a rifle.

That's a clean setup.

How does the 6.5 perform out of a 17" barrel?

I will let Flip handle that one we built him a 16.25 inch barrel

sweet...great job!

I get around 2720 fps from a 120 a-max.

Sounds good, that is one good looking rifle. I love that style of fluting.

Thanks, I am a fan of the the aggressive flute jobs

stacking shots with factory ammo, thats insane!

Every time you mention the 22 Creedmoor I get more and more interested in one!

Shot the 22 out to 1000, no pictures so I cant prove it but had a good group just 3 inches of center at 1000

I'm going to laugh when I win this rifle

What's the contest????

One of these days Derrick will figure out how to build a rifle that will shoot. He needs more practice.

Very nice rifle! And shooting! So did she order one?

It's top pin prize so top spender to dsc. She already has 2 I built her as part of sponsorship

What is the DSC and how can I enter the auction???

It's Dallas safari club, this particular gun is awarded to the person that donates the most over the 4 day show. IE purchases the most hunts and stuff.

yall need to stop talking about this stupid creedmore. i want a short action cartridge and yall keep talking like its the best shorty, dammit stop it. hehehe.
okay its got my interest. dammit.

It's all hype.

Oh top spender..... Just when I thought I had won this rifle, I find out there is no chance of me winning the rifle..lol

Dream killer

I bought into the hype and got a Savage last week. It had its first trial run last night with a "bang...flop" spike at 125 yards. The 129gr SST did a number on that Hill country buck.

That's a beautiful rifle. What's the weight on that 6.5?

140 grain ballistic tip does some damage
