Well, I got to shoot the 06 this weekend. Recoil was super manageable. Especially with 150s. I did not get the groups I was hoping for, but only tried 4 different types of ammo. I am going to do a good copper cleaning this week. Bought 3 different loadings a Wally World to give those a try and plan on loading some 175 SMKs and 178 ELD-X with H-4350 for testing. The B&C stock is just a super fit with the 13.5" LOP. Topped it with an Arken LH4. The eye relief is not the best on the scope, so I may be changing it out with the Leupold I have on my 6.5 Creedmoor.

Thanks. It fits me perfectly. I did have to change the scope out. Just not enough eye relief. I replaced it with a Leupold 6-18x40. I would have liked a bit larger FOV, but it really has great eye relief. Nice to have on something with a bit more recoil.

Did you have to do some machining and bedding? I have the same stock and found that I needed to.

Range day was good. The HOWA is picky but it's a shooter.
