Thread: New ultra lite bush build - your thoughts?

Ive owned a few creedmoors now in various lengths so speaking from experience, if you cut them short it does hurt the velocity alot more than some other cals like .308, so if your wanting to shoot to 300+ that may play a factor depending on projectile choice.

My current bush setup is a tikka t3x in .308, cut to 16" with a hardy compact on it, & a leupold "creedmoor" reticle scope on top, Talley aluminium rings. Not sure what it weighs but its not heavy by any means and really nice to carry and use. It shoots 151gr Absolute Hammers at just on 2850fps & they are awesome killers. The reason for using the "creedmoor" scope - ballistics with the 151gr hammers line up pretty close with the creedmoor reticle, so i dont have to piss round dialing on any longer shots if i need to take them. Zerod at 100, next mark down is spot on at 200 & 3rd mark down is a touch low at 300. For the places i hunt with this rifle im not shooting any further than 300 so works perfect for my intended use.
