It's important to start with a solid foundation. This is true if you are building a bridge, a house, or a custom rifle. This custom build was going to be a dual-purpose hunting and target shooting rifle, with weight being of little concern. As always, accuracy was first on my list of needs, because I planned to shoot this at distances beyond your typical varmint/predator hunting ranges. I understand that the 6.5 Creedmoor gets hated on constantly. However, I feel it is a very efficient cartridge and has solidified its place in the type of varmint hunting we do here in the West. Besides, I was already set up to reload for the 6.5 Creedmoor and had quite a bit of quality brass from Peterson Cartridge begging me to load it and take it out to the field (does your brass speak to you as well?)!

How many of you use your 6.5 Creedmoor for varmint/predator hunting? The Burris Veracity PH performed very well on this hunt. We have more coming with this optic! Correct velocity has been posted! Please Like, Subscribe and Share!

All the more reason why I need a second home up in Idaho 😆; awesome shooting, gents! Super fun to watch and great review!

I've got one of those tbac ultra 9's that's due to come home any day now, nice to see one in action. Love to hear more about using it out in the wild.

It works very well. I've been behind the camera numerous times while David has shot using the TBU9. It does a great job cutting down the sound, to the point that we often don't wear hearing protection, because it is just not needed.

Hi Joe. This was the first Veracity I used and it was a great optic. Now the problem is I may need a few more!

Hey Steve, how's that scope doing? Have you got to put some time behind it and fur down in front of it? Curious as I am thinking about one for a rifle.

Very nice. Hard to tell does it have hash marks for wind holds?

I found your channel a while ago after researching 17HMR Garrow uppers. I've followed ever since. Have you tested Uintah Precision AR15 and AR10 bolt action uppers?

Thanks for watching and following! I have not tested or shot a Uintah before but we would like to. We have spoken with them and hope to get something going this year so stay tuned.

Eric, question: Did I hear correctly. "140 gn factory and 143gn eld-x @ 3,500 fps?" in a 6.5 Creedmoor. All the same even at a lower velocity, great shooting at long range.

@panhandlepilgrim Жыл бұрын

That would be a stretch even for a 6.5-300wby

@varmintermagazine Жыл бұрын

It is wrong. We are going to correct.

@varmintermagazine Жыл бұрын

I was so blind to the numbers when I was editing, that I didn't catch it. Then, the author/shooter didn't catch it! That velocity picture ended up in the wrong folder. That is the velocity of my .22 Creedmoor shooting 64 grain TGKs out of an 18" barrel! I'm glad you guys caught it for us! We just hate that we missed it! The velocity was 2762 fps out of the 25" barrel with handloads. Thanks for catching it so we could make the correction! 👍

Hi. What scope covers are you using with the Burris scope??

David told me they came with the optic. So they are Burris scope caps.

@@joelclark2130 - Both are great options! Depending on how far you want to go, prairie dog hunting is much better in Eastern Montana/Wyoming and Colorado. The ground squirrels we shoot only stay up until July, then they are down until the following February/March. We go East for PDs after that!

So do the turrets still have audible and tactile clicks with this PH setup in case the UHD decides to crap out or burris stops supporting the app, the scope is still somewhat usable? Also what kind of battery is used for the optic and how long does it last? Does the optic need your phone connected to it all of the time for it to calculate all of the time? Thanks.

@varmintermagazine 5 ай бұрын

No. But it is still usable if the batteries die. 2 x CR2450 batteries are needed and they last a while. You don't need the app to run the optic. Once everything is put into the scope, you are set.

All I have in 6.5 Creedmoor is the Tikka TAC A1 and that metal chassis and cold... nope. Bad enough at the range at freezing, I hunt yotes below zero. I'd like a drop-in composite stock for things like this, but mine is in lefty and I haven't found any.

@Cachecarlson Жыл бұрын

Woox might make a left stock, those are pretty slick too.

@varmintermagazine Жыл бұрын

David mentioned in his article that he will be moving this to a more traditional stock. Understandable in the cold!

@jeffb.3052 Жыл бұрын

@@Cachecarlson I didn't see any lefties there but I may have missed it. I can get a Pendleton Composite Stock made but I'd have to leave it there for months. The nice part about that though is it would be the way I want it and I can use the Tikka mags which I really like. Just unbolt the chassis and bolt on the composite. Being able to swap back and forth is really appealing.

@@Cachecarlson thx, I'll write them and ask. It's a bit over the top, but I also asked MDT about the HNT26 for my chassis/lefty and I wasn't the first to ask so maybe someone will do an offering.
