Shit, why haven't I seen your chanel before? I coulda done with watching this 3 months ago.
Good stuff bloke, I like your philosophy & your attitude.
Very interesting watching you stretch that Creedy out to 2000 yrds on another of your vids.
Good stuff. We aint all millionaires &, knowing how another battler gets good results is golden stuff.
Keep up the excellent work, I'll be watching & listening.
Thanks Rotas, glad you liked. Hope you have a good Easter. Cheers and all the best
Best real world shooting channel on the web... I always liked the fact that you use logic, physics, and attention to detail for shooting, and actually showing how it's done, instead of how many other channels simply throw as much money at shooting as possible.. I laugh at some channels that refer to elr as 1,000yds and swear you need around $20,000 to do it..
Hi Jakudah, glad you like and hope our videos help, Cheers and all the best.
also here is a link to your scope set question
th-cam.com/video/YOVKP_czpP8/w-d-xo.html.
I think your spotter Sam has the most incredible voice I have ever heard soft Pleasant articulate I could listen to her all day good show make
Cheers
Thank you for putting up this video. Your knowledge and the humility that goes with it are rare and admirable.
Thanks Man, Cheers
Nice new project Mark and Sam!! Always enjoyed your videos. Thumbs up.
Thanks Hashem, Glad you like, Cheers
Just want to say you guys are amazing. I've been watching your videos for a few months now and just realized I wasn't subscribed! I am now and I hope you keep up these awesome videos. You've even helped me decide on a general hunting/target shooting rifle. Remington 700lr in 7mm mag. It's big enough to get the job done on just about anything in North America without beating you up and inheritantly accurate enough to help ensure good shot placement for a clean kill for a beginner
Hi Adam, thanks you that and yes the 7mmRM is a great cal, should do you well, Cheers and all the best.
I am certain you will squeeze every bit of performance out of that unit that is possible!
Thank you for your video.
Cheers Jack, will do what we can.
I love your no-compromise budget approach and I'm learning a lot just by seeing how you do what you do, and why.
I built a 308 rifle several years ago from a Howa 1500 heavy barrel action and I also chose a Sightron scope for the same reasons you did - good quality at a value price. So I had a Japanese rifle with Japanese glass. I don't shoot ELR like you do. I'd like to, but the local terrain makes that difficult. Maybe someday. But the Howa .308 is more accurate than I am.
I just bought a Howa HCR in 6.5 Creedmoor. I haven't picked it up yet at the gun store, but I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces. Until then, I'm binge watching your videos in this series. Thank you for these excellent videos.
Thanks Man, glad you enjoyed, Cheers
I like the premise of this video. You would be hard pressed to find anyone else on TH-cam doing something similar. Thank you for offering this look into your idea of a budget-conscious ELR rifle, and I look forward to seeing what results you achieve with it.
Hi Tyler, not a new concept but I hope we bring something people get something out of, Cheers
This is right up my alley. I upgraded to the HCR. It arrives on the 18th. Harris 6-9" and NF BR 12-42x56 is already waiting for it. Same die set should be here in a couple days. No shortage of brass for them at the shops on the east coast. Nice shirt by the way
Thanks Lucy, Cheers and all the best
Lol show off shooting standing up off hand. Man great shooting as usual. Wow the wait time on a few of those shots were epic. Love watching you 2 shoot. Best channel on TH-cam
Thanks Bryan, Cheers
these kinds of vids are awesome. thinking everything out that you want from the build is the only way to do it.
Thanks Jordon, glad you enjoy, Cheers
This is the way I like to put my rifles together with the exception of the reloading aspect. Looking fwd to this series!
thanks Steven, Cheers
Cannot wait for the next video in this series. I'm planning on building a rifle similar to this for my wife and kids to shoot so this series couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks Mark and Sam.
Great timing, Cheers Brandt and all the best
Great project Mark the 6.5 creedmoor should be a great shooter can not wait to see you and Sam try it out.
Hi Loren, Cheers
Really looking forward to this gun build series, keep up the hard work!
Cheers Man, Thanks
Great video and plan you have. I'm excited to see this develop and watch some ridiculous shots once you got it figured out. Thanks for all the effort you put into your channel. It's very noticeable and has provided me with a lot of entertainment, knowledge, and surprises.
Glad you enjoy, Cheers and all the best.
Great video as always, love the birds in the background. Have a great day.
Hi Troy, thanks mate, Cheers
This is going to be a great build series with useful information for a lot of people.
Cheers
Looking forward to seeing this come together. The Creedmoor has become one of my favorite range cartridges.
Cheers
The creedmoor has really exploded, seems everyone including myself has one. Really is a great round for those who dont reload, factory loads from hornady are very accurate. Looking forward to seeing this build, looks promising.
thanks Man, Cheers
Can't wait to see Mark 👍 I was going to put together pretty much this exact setup ! Those scopes seem to have great reviews for the money. All the best Darcy
Hi Darcy, great to hear, Cheers and all the best.
Looking forward to more of this series! Best of luck!!
Cheers
nice video Mark! lots of information, I have a choate machine & tool stock on a savage model 11 in 308 lh short action and it made a world of difference in the way it shoots!
Thanks Terri, glad to hear, Cheers
Hi mark and Sam I just finished a sako 75 in 6.5x55 swed with 30" barrel with 1-8 just started to do some load development running 130 Berger at 2990 fps and 140 eld at 2940 fps I just got some 140 Berger hybrid to try out with some n165 very happy with the rifle so far I do have a sako 85 to rebarrel in on of the 6.5 will keep a eye on this build
Sounds like your having fun, that seems a long barrel for the Swed, but all sounds like it's working well, Cheers
Love your channel anyway, but just come across this. Looks like it will be very interesting! Especially as i have an inch that only a 6.5 Creedmoor can scratch!
Thanks Jamie, Cheers
MY hats down to you mate! Its math all the way! love it!
Cheers Fausto, Thanks
I also would love to see some reloading videos. I look forward to seeing this rifle hit 2K.
We will be out there, Cheers and all the best.
Great project! As usual I enjoy your approach. Can't wait for more. I was tickled you mentioned my favorite 6.5, the venerable 6.5x55 Swede.
Hi Mark, glad you enjoyed, Cheers
Ok, I'll give. What's the ballpark cost for this project. A range will do. $2-3k? Less, more?
Hi Rohan, as said, cant really talk prices as they are so different around the world, if you look p parts listed in your country/area that will give you exact price. But as an idea approx total cost for this lot in the USA would just under $1500. Cheers
Thanks Mark
Great video. Should be an excellent series. My tikka t3x tac a1 in 6.5 is on order, so I am very interested in your handloading process. You didn't quite explain the benefits of a 1:9 twist so that will be interesting too. Great job!
Cheers
This is awesome, I'm looking forward to keeping up with this build.
thanks Man Cheers
cannot wait to see this rifle together and shooting
Cheers
Fantastic, can't wait to see the rest of the series
Cheers
mark would love to hear more about how you chose bullets for transonic stability. Iam looking at bullets for my 6.5x47l and the norma 130g golden target bullet is the highest bc 130g 6.5 bullet i have found. I have seen a comment on a forum that it tumbles when going transonic. What makes you chose a certain bullet for transonic stability?
Well, I don't use any formula, I select a descent projectile and try, for the most part that has worked well. I do how ever mainly use Bergers, they tend to be good, maybe some other brands are not so good. FYI the best BC is not always the best choice, there are a few other things to consider depending what you are doing, but nothing like doing a bit of testing to see how they work in your rifle in the real world, Cheers
Thanks mark
Building my own 6.5 Creedmoor to eventually reach out to that 1 mile marker for the first time for me. When looking at glass I think after the research I've done the Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 seems to be a solid way to go. Have you used this glass out to this distance by any chance? Thanks in advance
No sorry, not used any Vortex, Cheers
@@markandsamafterwork no worries, appreciate the reply. Thanks!
Great idea guys, like what your doing here (little disappointed you didnt go 260 but im biased). I was wondering are you going to run this "as assembled" without any of your accurising steps such as bedding, your bag rider and brake combination? I think it would be interesting to see whats achievable with a largely stock gun and how it can be improved with a few achievable modifications. Great video guys this is going to be good
Hi Ian, thanks Man, Cheers
I'm defiantly considering either a howas barreled action 223 or savage hog hunter and dropping it into a bell and Carlson target competition.
Yes a Bell and Carlson would be a great option, Cheers
MarkandSam AfterWork really liking the newer "target/competition" stock they've come out with. originally only for R700s but they got the idea pretty quick and made it available for Savages, Howas and I think Tikka among maybe a few others. been waiting for a stock like that w/ adjustable comb in that price range for quite awhile. No more building up the comb with foam and athletic tape. Now just trying to decide between a Howa or Savage for a 20" .223. nice short handy farm gun, eventually a surpressor host as well if all goes to plan. Now other than Tikka they need to speed up their .223 twist rates a bit.
Hi Sam, you need to mittagate the refliction off that very nice sign, on the back wall.Im guessing your the Creative Director and Production Mannager lol
Hi Joe, yes will have work on that, Cheers and all the best.
0:51 you hit a plate at 3000m with iron sights 👏
Lol
Mark I would love to see you guys review the Ruger RPR in 6.5 as an off the shelf rifle to the Howa cheers Paul from Balllarat vic ps love ya work LOL
Hi Paul, if we get the opportunity we will, Cheers and all the best
Great video, Mark. When will we see a .50 BMG?
Hi Paul, not sure, really would be fun, but a step down from my .375 in the way of distance shooting, Cheers
On a serious note how many guns do you have haha 👍
Not quite enough, Cheers
MarkandSam AfterWork there is never enough
If it would be "cost effective" and legal I'm sure I could get you some lapua brass
Ordered, just waiting for it to get here. But thanks for the offer. Cheers
Makes Brad Cooper look pedestrian 😎👍
Cheers
Thought it might have been a howa action, have you had a look at the howa HCR? They have them at my local, 308, threaded barrel with a nikko stirling (cheap) 4-16x50 Dimond $2k roughly the same price as a barreled action and a MDT chassis without a stock, grip, Mag or scope
I have not seen in the flesh but they look good and seem not bad for a package set up, Cheers
HELLO! Very excited this channel exists. I was wondering - currently in the market for either almost identical build with MTD chassis or the HCR 1500. Which would be the better direction to head in?
Thanks Rick, I have not seen the HCR in the flesh so cannot judge, but the MDT chassis system are great and the ESS is spot on in this set up, Cheers
Gday Mark great video, any reasons for your preference of the 260 over CM initially? If you were to purchase the tikka CTR which of these would you choose? Looking forward to this build, thx
Hi Ryan, really very little in it, for you to make the decision you need to go through all the same details, like what you can get locally, hand loading or factory, match shooting or hunting and out that you will find an answer, Cheers
i know you may have touched on this before , I've just tuned into your channel excellent stuff. I,m pretty keen on a build using a good old 6.5x55 s, how do you thing it would measure up against the Creedmore or .260? And also have you noticed any difference in recoil, shoulders shot and i hear the Swede give a bit more of a boot if you were in for a long session. Thanks again and im glad you used the Howa very underrated rifles.
Thanks Man, glad you enjoyed, as for those cals, really not much more than obvious, 260 and 6.5 Creedmoor are really too close to call much difference and the Swede has a bit more power with a little more kick, depending on set up, so really comes down to what you are doing with it as to which is more suited to your needs, Cheers
Shirazenema o
Would you have gotten a 260 rem tikka if it was available?
Yes I would have, but really nothing in it, both great if you get the right twist.
so how much bugdet cost for the hole rifle.
Hi Anthony, as said, hard to talk prices because so different all over the world, but well under a third of a normal precision rifle build, Cheers
What are your thoughts of all the new long range precision rifles in the chassis systems. Like howa ruger tikka burgara or something like that? I'm new into long range and I definitely want the 6.5. My friend is an outstanding shooter and reloads in that caliber. I love the chassis systems so my question is are they worth the 1,500 to 2,000$
Some Chassis's are good, some not, also depends on how you like shooting with them, in different applications they have some advantages, for ELR shooting it would be as much about looks as anything, a chassis will not out shoot a Stock if both are set up right. Cheers
MarkandSam AfterWork thank you sir.
Hey Mark, will you still get a 100m zero with that base and ring set up? I'm building the same howa varmint in 6.5 creedmoor but using a different stock. What base you using, I can only find egw 20moa?
Yes same base, check this out for other info th-cam.com/video/YOVKP_czpP8/w-d-xo.html Cheers
3000 meters standing freehand??
Lol
I don’t believe it that’s impossible
What do you make your targets out of?
For LR I make them from Hardox 450 or 550, for ELR I make them from mild steel, I have videos on that, Cheers
MarkandSam AfterWork no worries. And thanks.
Iron sights 1100 yards off hand!!!! How many tries
I while ago, but all explained in the video and the one before I have attached a link, Cheers

Sharkson77 great thing about him he shows the misses unlike other TH-cam channels
I would like to see you push the 6,5 Grendel to its limits
Will do, Cheers
Please turn off the auto focus when you have it on a try-pod. Everything else is great !!!
Hi Frederic, thank you. Cheers
Hi "MarkandSam AfterWork" I think I checked all your replies properly with no real answer to my query but is this 6.5 creed 1-9 or 1-8? All the info I can find on the web suggests the 6.5 creed is 1-8 not 1-9 on a Howa outfit.Love your channel and all the info that comes with it. I definitely need one of these too.
Cheers Brett
HI, I have not measured, was told 1-9 which would be OK, but from what I can see it should e 1-8 which would be ideal, will have to measure. Cheers
Neck, That's my understanding, as well. I've only seen Howa 6.5 Creeds in 1:8. Now, lets get Howa to start making their .223's and .243's in a 1:8, as well!
Not to be an ass, but I thought the Australian government took all your guns?
You thought wrong, we have many firearm laws, but we still have guns, Cheers
