Just picked up my new PGW Coyote in 6.5x47 Lapua yesterday. I must say I was very impressed with the rifle as well as dealing with Ross and Steve. The whole transaction was a great experience. Emails were always answered right away, and visits to see the shop and progress on the rifle were always welcome.
The smoothness of the action cycling is just dreamy. The feeding of the mag system works perfect. Paint job was beautiful as well. Ross was also very helpful in setting up a system to adapt a Rempel bipod or a Harris bipod on this rifle system. Now I can use the Rempel for F-class events or just use the harris bipod for everyday shooting.
They also set up the front rail, installed a 6 port brake and put in a jewel trigger that i provided. They also painted the thread cap to match the rifle. These things were outside the normal coyote packages but were important to me and they had no problem with going the extra mile to look after it.
All I can say is very professional and a pleasure to deal with.
I got the rifle out to the range today to test some loads. There is not a whole lot of reloading info out there for this cartridge. Some from 6mmbr.com, some from Long Range Hunting and some from snipershide.com. This testing is only a start for me and now I have something to work with. All in all it shot really well. My biggest worries were high pressures in my loads since my data i could collect was minimal. All the rounds I fired had no pressure signs whatsoever, so now i can go back and bump up the charges a touch to see if i can get a 123 grn lapua scenar to go 3000 + fps without hurting case life.
Look forward to do some more testing without the 20 km/h winds and the sub zero temps when you can feel your fingers. Groups were decent and i know i can bring them tighter with some more load development.
All in all, this rifle system is great. If you want a high end product that is built tough and shoots great well here it is. Thanks again guys.
