The Assassin’s Creed....

...moor.

6.5 Creedmoor
Benchmark #3 1-8 24”
Stiller Predator action
McMillan EDGE stock
Atlasworx M5 bottom metal
Timney Calvin Elite trigger

Henry Rempel did the chambering. Rob McLeod did the cerekote. I did the stock work including a LH conversion and bedding.

Nice toy!

Looks practical, I like it!

Questions:

Weight?
What type of sling is that?
What are your thoughts on exposed turrets?

 

[chuck nelson]

8lbs 2ozs, the sling is made by Montana slings. For this application I like the turret. I’m not as big a fan on a dedicated big game rifle.

Nice set up Chuck. What bullet do you plan on using? I'm interested in a range report. Keep us posted and congrats on your latest toy.

 

[chuck nelson]

I’m still torn on bullet but am going to the range with some 123 Scenars next week.

Ye must be settin' up to whack some yotes with that beasty. Should work just fine on 'em.

Very nice !!

What brand bolt knob is that ? I like it, more to grab onto than the stock version but not a huge "tactical" model.

 

[chuck nelson]

It is the standard knob that comes with the Stiller action.

 

[madashell]

Thanks.

Yeah I realized that must be the case when I re-read the specs.

Chuck, you are going to the dark side!

 

[Buckmastr]

Looks tactical! Very nice!!

Nice rifle, chuck. Real nice. I've been really enjoy the 6.5 CM and think you'll enjoy the SS. Let us know how that Benchmark shoots, please?

 

[todbartell]

I can like that. Nicely done

 

[Hitzy]

Not sure I'd put such a cheap scope on a custom rifle like that...I like everything else.

Where is it lacking?

 

[Buckmastr]

It's lacking a nightforce

 

[Hitzy]

Where is it lacking?

Quality compared to the rest of the rifle, like putting a Hawke on a Cooper.

What is your experience with them?

It's lacking a nightforce

The good news is that, as far as I can tell, both are made in the same factory.
