New 6.5-08 HABU

[Obtunded]

Ron Hermes provided the inspiration for this variant of the 260. It is hot off the presses...

XP100 action, Krieger 17A 1:8' twist and a Carl Bernosky Psychedelic Laminate stock... All screwed together by gun plumber extrordinaire Mick McPhee...

A beautiful gun. What do you use it for? Targets or game? Did you choose the 6.5 for more speed over a .30 or 7 mm variant? By the way, a very pretty view out your window.

OK, NOW THAT YOUR HAPPY, THE GAME IS CHANGED!

I HAD DAVE KIFF DO ANOTHER REAMER OF THE 6.5X08, ONLY THIS TIME WITH A 30 DEG. SHOULDER. [as in 6br]

BORN - 6.5 HABU - ABOUT 20 - 23 THOU CASE CAP. INCREASE.

will shoot VARGET, H4350 and RL - 17 very well.

as season is about over and hunting starting - will play with it later and report back later.
