Rickyd Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Ok, after doing some research I have decided that a full custom build might be the best way to go. I’ve always wanted something that’s a little tactical looking, but light enough to take stalking. Im going for 6.5 creedmoor, and like the sound of the carbon international barrels. The mdt hnt26 carbon chassis looks the dogs! And is very light weight! Now comes the action. I’m swaying towards the Terminus or defiance. The Terminus seems to have great reviews of being very smooth, which is something I’d like. However when looking on the website it states only .308 or .223. I have seen builds in 6.5 creedmoor so obviously can be done? Just wondering why it’s not offered as a option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furrybean Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Thats the bolt face, .308 will do all larger calibers thats not a long action or magnum such as 6.5 Creed, 6.5x47 .308 7mm08 .243 etc .223 is for the smaller stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickyd Posted June 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Ahh, so I’d need the 308 then, you then have the option of long action or small action. Any ideas on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlts Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 A 6.5 Creedmoor in an HNT26 with an IBI carbon pipe is a lovely thing!😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furrybean Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Long action is .270 30-06 .284 etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s shooting lead free Nosler E-Tip factory ammo sub 1/2”. I’ve only got a dozen shots down it so far. Most pleasingly it weighs just 11lb with a mod and double pull Cyke Pod.

Ronin Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 I wouldn’t discount other actions from the list Impact Precision Borden Both would be there with the others mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
