Custom lefty rem 700, 6.5 creedmoor (range update)

I was thinking about the lapua, but it's harder to get locally and it's almost twice the price. I can get the creedmoor at $28 for 20 and perform ballistically the same.

Very nice build. When you consider that I can get 30 reloads from my 6.5 lapua brass, after annealing every 6th reload, it's the cheapest stuff going.
 
I picked up an atlas bipod the other day. It was an extreme improvement over the harris. It stuck to the bench a lot better, i felt i could control the recoil pulse a lot better with the better pre-loading. I wasn't fighting it as much as the harris, it felt everytime i broke a shot, i had to reacquire my shooting position with the harris. Shot my best group at 300 yards my first time out with it, 1.67" ctc (5 shot group, 1.9295" edge-to-edge, 6.5mm bullet) along with more consistent, tighter 100 yard groups. Black target was 5 shots at 100 yards, squares are 1/2". I am only running factory 140 gr 6.5 creedmoor, but i will soon need to start reloading because hornady is having a hard time keeping these on shelves, they say they are pretty popular down in the states and i've only got 15 more rounds til i'm empty:(.
