After inquiring about the Cooper Raptor, a few months back, you guys pretty well talked me out of it. Building was a better way to go, you said, and I was turned off by the 10+ pound weight of the Cooper rifle, anyway.
Well, the new 6.5 Creedmoor isn't in my hands, quite yet, but it's done and the 'smith sent me pictures:
Rifle Specs:
Stainless 700 Action (thanks, gap3006)
6.5 Creedmoor, 1-8" twist
22" Mullerworks barrel, SS, carbon wrapped, sendero contour, threaded muzzle
AG Composites Alpine Hunter stock, carbon urban camo
Hawkins Precision M5 bottom metal
Oversized bolt knob
Cerakote, sniper grey
Jewel Trigger
Weight: 7lbs, 2oz
The rifle was built but Pederson Precision, in Wisconsin. Matt Pederson does the carbon wrapping for Mullerworks' barrels, so it was easy to just send him my action and let him take care of the rest. I sent him the action, mid-November, and he'll ship it back to me this week. I'll post a range report, when I get a chance to shoot it.
