There will be one of these at our house Thursday. I'll post a pic here after I mount the scope. Keep in mind that I am building it for my wife when you see it. She shoots with me, both smokeless and BPCR rifles (black powder cartridge rifle, ie: not a front stuffer). I picked out the Grendel to get her more trigger time before moving on to the .308 and 6.5 PRC rifles that are hers.
My buddy has a Uintah Precision 6.5 Creedmoor. As with any firearm, rigidity of the platform is key. He is a gunsmith by trade, was one of Gander Mountain's smiths before they consolidated all work into one location. He has a machine shop at home and made super tight action pins. They have to be tapped in with a hammer. NOT MASHED in, tapped in.
The gun is locked together tight. I have shot it, its very accurate, he has dinged a 18"x18" square at a mile over and over.
I am taking a slightly different path, but still the same. Years ago, I had bought some J.P. Enterprise split pins. They lock the receiver halves together really tight by tension.
This will be a dedicated bolt gun, with only the Uintah upper for it.
