    Do you plan to shoot another set of strings around your 6th to see if speeds are flat on either side of it?

    I do. I had chrono on all the shots, and the two best groups had the best SD as well. Going to check 0.2 either side of both good ones. Then fiddle with seating depth a little. I'm limited here to mag length. I'm not chasing tenths in the groups, just looking for a consistent 1/2 to 3/4 MOA gun.

      Looks like Magpul is comming out with a replacement stock also. Might be a purchase in the future.

        Looks like a nice piece. May have to wait on that.

            Not a RAP, but I just purchased a left handed Ruger Hawkeye FTW edition. It's stainless with a natural gear cammo stock ( factory ) it comes threaded & with a muzzle brake. I will pick it up in a few days then put some good glass on it then she what she likes to eat. I'll post reviews after a few rounds down range

              Dang. Y'all are dropping some coin on these "budget" rifles. Not staying budget for long LOL. The 6CM has my interest in a cheap truck gun.

                I've got just over $500 in this one, it's my 6 year olds. He likes it.

                Here's the pics with the stock. I haven't had time for final fit and bedding the lugs.

                      Y'all are making me consider putting off buying a pistol and getting one of these. I'm inheriting a .260 from my grandpa but this would be really tempting if a hot deal came up

                        My "custom budget rifle" is complete! I have around $950 in it total. I ended up getting a steal on the Viper HS 4-16x44 and a deal on the stock. Added a muzzlebrake and aluminum bolt shroud. The stock is a custom Boyd's prairie hunter with upgrades. I ended up fiberglass bedding the v-blocks on my own and that saved me around $200. The action is in there super tight and the barrel free floats. Should shoot even better than before. Oh yeah, I also cut the trigger spring down to lessen the pull.

                            The brake is from Anarchy Outdoors.

                              Where'd you get the aluminum bolt shroud?
