I sold my Barret (already shopping for another one) my heavy 6.5 Creedmoor and my Nightforce SHV to fund my new buy. I finally got what I really wanted. A good member here saw this for sale and told me about it. They had just finished it and it was in their "Rifles Ready to Sell" section. CORE Solutions 6.5 Creedmoor Lone Peak Titanium action 20" Proof Research carbon Fiber barrel Trigger Tech "Special" trigger Manners EH-1 with KMW cheek piece APA detachable Box magazine Black Cerakote Little Bastard brake , seamless fit. Looks like I can get the velocity I need in the short barrel with RL-16 without the sticky bolt-lift and shiny head-stamps I got with H-4350. Still testing the 143 ELDX and Berger 140VLDH, see if there is much accuracy difference. I'm in love....for now of course

16 is good stuff and not temperature sensitive like 17.
Also the special is a nice trigger.

Nice job Buzz.....but what’s the difference between ‘retired’ and ‘vacation’? P_102
