Well the warranty coupled with the manufacturer being LOW would give me some confidence in buying since they make all the good scopes anyways, might need to give them a call.

I’m going with a 25 creed instead of the 6. From the guys I’ve talked too it seems like the 6 creed cooks barrels faster than some of the other 6s like the dasher or gt. The downfall of the 25 creed is bullet selection.
I have a bit of a drive to get there but well worth it for what's offered. I hear they are trying to open an even longer range in another area.
Glad to hear other shooters have the same thoughts around the same chassis with different Calibers. As you say consistency, I believe it goes a long ways to building good habits and not having to know how different chassis react.
Maybe our paths will cross. See you out there!

There's no perfect place to learn of all the matches on the calendar in our vicinity, unfortunately.
The best I can do is recommend facebook group "SKAB PRC". All the matches are discussed and announced there. Though if you join at any given moment it's not so obvious what the upcoming calendar is.
CRPS does not require any membership or special privilege to enter their matches. They are first come, first service, and they never sell out in Western Canada. CRPS has not announced a 2025 match schedule at this time.
You can slow down the 6 CM a bit to gain barrel life.
Big update to the build. Unfortunately the original option I was purchasing was not a possibility so I'm now moving forward with a new build that is true to the statement " Go big or Go Home". I have always wanted this build and after talking with a few friends in Austin, they convinced me to just do it. Insight Arms will still be doing the build and know I am in good hands.
Here's the new build specs and even some gear to go along with it.
MPA Matrix Pro Chassis
Impact 737 action RH Std. BF
CRB Insite Comp Hawks Hill Barrel, 7.5T, 26-27"
Chambering 6mmCM
Muzzle thread for Heathen G2 4 Port Brake
Bix'n Andy Tac Sport Pro-X single stage with flat shoe set to 8 oz's
Atlas BT46-NC PSR Bipod
Game Changer Optimized Waxed Bag
Gray Ops Atlas Arca ARMAGEDDON FAT BAG LRG C. TAN
DNT 7-35x56mm
2 x AICS 10/12 rd. Mag
Gray Ops Scope Mount
I like this build as I will be able to change out barrels on my own when the barrels are burnt, and by bolts for different cartridges.
I am also a firm believer in sticking with the same gunsmith to do all my work as each gunsmith has their own idiosyncrasies in how they build which translates little things for the shooter.
Anyone else have thoughts on gunsmiths, experiences with, etc?
Any changes I should consider to this new build? Feedback is appreciated.Thx all

I'm not familiar with DNT scopes as I don't have any experience with them nor do I know anyone that shoots one so can't comment on them, I hope it works out or you, waiting to see the pics once it's built and ready to go, Harley will do a great job on it, enjoy the journey into long range shooting it's a hoot.
Thx, I have continually heard good this about Harley and his workmanship from many others. I can't wait to see how this build performs.
oops, my mistake. That line with the DBM was from the previous build.
Will check out the Grayops AW mags. Looking for steel mags.
As for the scope. I realize that and I am very skeptical, final decision hasn't been made yet. I was considering a Vortex Gen II 4.5 27x56 or Nightforce 5 25x56 initially and still leaning that way as more feedback comes in. May consider others.
Appreciate the feedback. It reinforces my gut feelings
These scopes are somewhat similar and the DNT is a better scope overall when up against this price point.
A Razor Gen II retails at 3700.00 the DNT at 800.00 amazing the price difference with the supposed same quality. I wish I could get a DNT in my hands before purchase just to see the quality. My wallet may have to take a big leap of faith.
Anyone in Calgary running a DNT scope? Would love to see it.
I have not used the DNT. The cloest I have used is the Arken EP5.
Part of my statement is based on their specifications, especially the elevation turret travel range.
After further research I have decided against the DNT scope. I am sure it's not a bad scope but I just don't feel comfortable moving forward with IT.
I have also decided against the Vortex and Nightforce scopes because the price points are too high and with the advancements in glass there is a better option that I think will fit in perfectly with this build.
As previously mentioned as an option I have decided to go with the Tracts Toric UHD 4.5-30x56 34mm MRAD ELR FFP. The price point is good at about 2300 and offers everything a higher end scope would. I had talked to one of the Jons at Tracts and they were very helpful answering all my questions and the warranty seems solid. If you want to check them out and watch videos from PRS shooters here's the link. Interestingly one of the videos shows a very similar build of rifle that I have coming.

Appreciated all the feedback and will follow up with pic's of the build once complete.
Cheers

Yes I did and I still prefer the Tract. Here's a link with a review for the Apex, Tract, and and older Vortex. They had different shooters, and each scope had its pros and cons but the Tract came out as number one.

Thx for the suggestion and appreciate hearing other opinions and options.
