Top one is new..... Zastava PAP M90NP AK made in Serbia. Chambered in 5.56x45mm and came from the factory with a AR Mag adapter.
Some of you might have seen this in its "slapped together" guise. Rem700 action, 26" Shillen 1 in 8" twist chambered in 6.5-284, Ken Henderson carbon fibre stock, leupold VX3i LR 4.5-14x50. Big thanks to @7mmsaum @Kiwi Greg @ebf @Carpe Diem @SlimySquirrel @Dr. Watson @buzzman and anyone else I have missed who all helped bring it together. Need to get some more brass (I have 13...) and will get a load going, I'm thinking 140amax.

Wow!!! certainly looks bloody nice Ryan. What sort of weight you looking at??
I really like that. Well done.
Scope looks perfect for that rig and a CDS too... so you can do a ezy dial scenario once that is created for ya and ya have the right potion!!!
:thumbsup::D:thumbsup:
It's a smart looking rifle alright mate.
It will go bloody well with a 140/143. I've just been playing with the new 6.5 swede I got from Buzzman, 143g eldx at 2750 fps, shots touching at 100. It should hold 1k ft lbs to 850 yards, so your's should have a handy advantage on that.
143 ELD-X or 140 Berger could be the medicine their Ryan. Nice looking set up :thumbsup:
Purchased a T3 Superlight in 6.5 Swede off @buzzman and took delivery of it at Tobys shoot.
While talking to @P38 at the shoot he hooked me up with some Lapua brass and dies.
Once home I mounted up a Weaver SuperSlam in 2-10x42 and set about loading up some test rounds with 143g ELD-X'S.

I had 4 rounds left, so entered the data into shooter, dialed the weaver and smashed the 6" plate at 300 and 400 twice each.
The 143g eldx at 2755 fps will be pretty useful holding 1k ft lbs to 850 yards!
