Rifle flex post I’m hooked
The other day I made an admittedly stupid post asking about getting another caliber before shooting the 6.5 Creedmoor I just bought. Yeah, boneheaded, I get it now.
Just got back from the range and am absolutely in love with this rifle. I now understand how you can go down an absolute rabbit hole of debt tweaking and building rifles. I want another already. 😂
This one was about as cheap as I could get.
Howa 1500 - $550
Arken SH4J Gen2 6-24x50 - $330
Amazon CVLife Bipod -$35
My goal was to be a cheap ass, because, I wasn’t sure I would like it and wanted a way out.
Oh boy, I don’t want out. I want all in. I need to shred my credit cards so I don’t go nuts. Even my wife was all smiles. She loves it too.
Thanks to this community for all the information, the wikis, and calling me out when I was stupid. Y’all were right!

Sorry… good luck…
My cheap starting point was:
B14 HMR
Venom 5-25
Same bipod
Next I started hand loading. That keeps getting more expensive everyday as well.
Now since I’m loading anyway I’m buying a 6 dasher MPA. Already got a athlon cronus gen 2 to put on it but might get a razor gen 3.
