Custom 6.5-300 Savage

[SixFive]

Finished my Savage 110 6.5-300 Weatherby build today. This rifle started life as a 30-06.

The stock is a Savage Accustock I custom painted and baked with KG Gunkote

I had to do a little machining on the receiver and added bottom metal and an extra length mag for seating these already long rounds even longer

The Barrel is a 27" Blank from GM I profiled, threaded, and chambered on the lathe, then cerakoted. 1:8 twist

I will be taking it to the range tomorrow, shooting 130gr Terminal Ascent bullet and Retumbo powder.

Topped it off with a new US Optics scope.

Hope it shoots tight groups!

I'm curious on how you did the camo pattern. I've been wanting to do something similar to a whole rifle (including barrel, action and scope).

It is so easy! First I painted the stock solid black. Then I used three other woodland camo colors and applied by dabbing them on with a sponge, turned out good huh? I did used KG Gunkote with the temp lowering additive (180 degrees) and baked at 200 for 30 minutes.

Make sure you order the temp lowering additive to bake the stock, I linked everything below

Curious, why the stock in GunKote and the barreled action with Cerakote?

Nice sponge job...

When I read the title of this thread the first thing that came to mind was, why would anyone neck down the .300 Savage case to 6.5mm?

I ran out of KG so I used Cerakote, no other reason

300 Weatherby Magnum necked down to 6.5
