Picked this up from the smith yesterday. Not great pics yet but I'll get some better ones when I get a chance to get outside to shoot it! I bought it as a 220 swift barreled action which included a Timney trigger and rail and a tactical large boltknob!! Spec is,
Action trued, firing pin hole reduced, and bolt fluted and polished.
Bartlein 8 twist 5T barrel, fluted, bead blasted and threaded 18x1 with an invisible thread protector!
This was dropped into a fully bedded HN precision stock which was on my 204! I've got a wildcat sound moderator to put on it and also a Kwik Klip magazine to fit! It also has Tier One scope rings and a Delta Javelin 4.5-30x56 scope!

Re: 6mm Creedmoor
As soon as I get a load made up I'll let you know how it shoots! I'm planning to start with 87gr V-max and then probably try the 103gr ELDX.

Lookin' good! That should do the job right well.
It appears it's NOT a good time to be a fox in Wales.

Foxes don't appreciate the 204! Think they may like this even less!

It does the job! Not sure what stock it could end up in though!
