![]() ![]() I went with this paint for the stock, ratchet fluted barrel, dark gray cerekote to match the gray in the stock and 6.5 creed. Having a .257 Weatherby, .264 win, and 280 AI I wanted something that was cheap to shoot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The group buy includes the Curtis action. You don't need an action. It's only a few hundred more than their cheapest build with a Remmy action. Not worth buying a donor and then ordering.

300Rum vs 300 winmag thoughts?
I received a unexpected bonus from work that has me back in the game! I’m for sure doing a 257 Wby but have always wanted a 300 rum (because of the sendero) |

I’ve always liked my 300RUM. After this build I’m going to be getting the action tuned up and putting a Carbon Fiber barrel on it |

I’ll be running it surprised with a ARK30 so that’ll help big time with recoil so that’s a non factor so just curious if I can be talked out of it to a 300 win mag. |

That's why this thread hurts, so much. Was just dreaming up my build and this buy got underway. I am in need to time to save. Black Ice, nice order. That ratchet fluted barrel is a looker. |

7mm 08, 6.5CM or 308?
I have a 308 now, that I love, but I’ve never shot the other two. I’ve never come close to hunting outside of Texas, but if the opportunity came up, I’d like to be prepared. I will probly never see 1k yard shot, but I would like to be comfortable out to 5-600. I keep hearing all this hate for the CM, but ballistics and ammo availability speak pretty loud to me, because I don’t reload yet. This will be a suppressed rifle.

Out of those options I'd go 6.5 Creedmoor. I don't own a 6.5 Creedmoor but I own several other 6.5's. It's hard to beat a 6.5 and the ammo availability is awesome for the 6.5CM. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Short action with factory ammo the 6.5 Creed makes the most sense. |

I do shoot it suppressed primarily, yes. Unsuppressed the flash and noise aren't as bad as expected. It kicks a little harder than it did at 24", likely just the weight, and still not as much as a .270.
To be clear I probably wouldn't get a custom APR rifle cut to 16"; it's exceptionally accurate but you do lose ~150 fps. But I wanted to have a custom 20" rifle made and was deciding on a cartridge, I wouldn't hesitate to do it in 6.5 CM. Last edited by Balcones_Walker; 01-16-2018 at 12:11 PM. |

I gave APR a call this afternoon and spoke with Jason. Great guy to talk to, and answered every question I had without making me feel dumb. Now all I have to figure out is what color.....I'm thinking one of the sponge camo's. What are yall doing for color on yours?

In. Ended up 7mm-08 in Dark Ambush with Black Cerakote. I'm pretty much a newb when it comes to choices and the guys at APR were very informative and a pleasure to work with.

It’d be cool to know how many TBH deals they get from this.
