[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3355014, member: 24867"] Certainly. The rifle is a Browning X-Bolt Max Long Range: [LIST] [*]6.5 Creedmoor [*]26" Barrel - 1:7 twist [*]I've adjusted the trigger to about 2.5 lbs [/LIST] Optic is a Sig Sauer Tango 4 - 6x24x50 - bedded the rings but opted not to go with the 20 MOA rail. Seems to be fine without it at 1200 yards. At 1300 yards, I had to hold up a few extra MOA in the reticle. I also put a the Vortex Lo-Pro Bubble level on it. I found that my natural position had me tilting the rifle to the left a little bit (I'm a lefty as you can tell by the bubble level on the right side of the scope), and I've found this level to really help me learn what a true level shooting position feels like. I decided to go this route rather than building one completly from the action. I've always been a fan of Browning X-Bolt rifles. I have a Rem. 700 action that I was going to build a .308 from, but decided to go this route instead. I'm glad I did. The newer Browning stock they've started to make (not using McMillan stocks any longer) is fantastic. It's not a light as the McMillan, but its extremely comfortable, adjustable, and still on the lighter side. It checked every box for me. The gun was about $450 cheaper with this stock than the McMillan. edit: and a cheap, $25 Amazon bipod! [/QUOTE]
