SHILEN 6.5 CREEDMOOR AND ZERMATT ORIGIN BUILD

Ken from Florida sent us a picture of his target and some info on his 6.5 Creedmoor build using a Shilen barrel and Zermatt action purchased from Northland Shooters Supply. 

Here are the specs:

• 26” Shilen Stainless Select Match- Small Shank Savage- Bull Contour- 6.5 Creedmoor- 8 Twist With Muzzle Thread
• NSS Squared and Trued Barrel Nut
• Zermatt Arms Origin- Left Hand- Beadblast
• MDT XRS Chassis
• TriggerTech Diamond- Left Hand Pro Curved
• PT&G Headspace Gauges

Here is what Ken had to say about his build:

“I finally got a chance to shoot my 6.5 Creedmoor build that I purchased from you. I sighted it in at 100 yards with box ammo. I then tried some handloads I worked up for my Savage 6.5 Creedmoor. This is my first 5 shot group at 100 yards with the handloads. The orange bull on the target is 3/4”.  Glad I went with your recommendations. Thanks for your guidance and help.
