Gunsmith is Chris Matthews, Longshot Rifles, Urich, MO. He built my 1st 6.4x47 Lapua on a Surgeon 591 action, Krieger MTU barrel in an AICS stock. It's my sniper rifle and shoots LIGHTS OUT!

Cool!

I have the Creedmoor and was contemplating it in a hunting config!

I love the rifle and caliber! My only criticism is a personal dislike for a big bolt knob, but that is me.

A good looking long range killer. Awesome cartridge. What ever unfortunate animal is lined up in your scope, could give a rats a$$ about the bolt knob! Nice rig..!

Butch,

After handling my new 9.3x62 Pre 64 M70 today and it's round knob I'm leaning towards agreeing with you, so don't be surprised if I swap it out before too long.

Very nice, thanks for sharing pictures! So how does it shoot? Does the PTG bottom metal use the center screw on the receiver, or does it use the front and rear screws only?

JPL,

I've only shot about 7 rounds of pressure ladder/barrel shots so far. Looked promising.

Looks like front and rear screws only.
