10 rd group w/6.5x47Lapua by Sharps45 2 7/8, on Flickr

Ten rounds from 600 with my 6.5x47L this afternoon. ;D 8) 1.5" bolt-head! This is consistently the most accurate rifle and cartridge I have ever had to my shoulder in over 60 years of shooting! Shot this prone off the shoulder with bi-pod.

What rifle and components are you using?

What rifle and components are you using?

It's a Rem M700 blue-printed action and 1-8.5 ROT Krieger barrel built by my friend Jon Beanland in Gould, Oklahoma! Components are the 123 gr. Sierra HPBT with 38.5 grs. Varget and BR-4 primers, bullets touching lands!

Just curious - would a grade 8 bolt last longer?

I have access to a forge so I'm going to get a 'carriage bolt' and harden it! End of problem!! ;D

lol I have the same knife. It is about 4.5" folded. Kershaw needs to locktight those screws in.

Yes nice group. I love that target.
