CRITERION 6GT BUILD

Criterion 6GT

Mark of Colorado sent us some info and pictures of his 6GT build using a Criterion barrel purchased from Northland Shooters Supply. 

Here are the specs on his barrel and some of the components he purchased. 

–    26” Criterion- Small Shank Savage- MTU Contour- 6GT- 7.5 Twist with Muzzle Thread 

–    NSS Precision Ground Recoil Lug 

–    NSS Squared and Trued Barrel Nut 

–    NSS Action Wrench 

–    4” Barrel Nut Wrench 

–    PT&G Headspace Gauges 

Here is what Mark had to say about his build:

“Back in April, I bought a Criterion Savage pre-fit barrel from you and ordered a small shank when I actually needed a large shank. Despite my mistake, this was the perfect excuse for me to build a completely new rifle around this happy accident of a barrel! Anyway, I am extremely happy with the quality and with some very quick load development, I’m getting consistent 0.20 – 0.50” groups at 100 yards. This build is going to be my new PRS rifle for competition.

I’m running 109gr Berger Hybrid Target Long Range and 32.8gr of Varget powder in Alpha Munitions brass at about 2850fps.
