Description

The Ultimate Precision Hybrid: Custom 6.5 Creedmoor

By Practical Viking

This custom build represents the perfect intersection of competition-grade accuracy and lightweight portability, thanks to the Zermatt/Proof Combo, widely considered the "holy grail" of long-range setups. The Zermatt TL3 is prized for its smoothness, while the Proof Research barrel provides match-grade accuracy at half the weight of traditional steel. Built on a foundation of industry-leading components, this rifle is designed to excel whether you are ringing steel at 1,000 yards or navigating rugged terrain on a backcountry hunt.

Component Breakdown

• Action: Zermatt Arms TL3-SA – Retail Value $1350

The gold standard for bolt-action precision. Known for its incredible smoothness and reliability, the TL3 features a controlled-round feed, a mechanical ejector, and a swappable bolt head.1 It offers the tightest tolerances in the industry for consistent ignition and cycling.

• Barrel: Proof Research Carbon Fiber – Retail Value $1100

Experience the benefits of a heavy-target profile without the weight. This match-grade stainless steel core wrapped in aerospace-grade carbon fiber provides superior heat dissipation, reduced harmonic vibration, and remarkable weight savings. *

With a versatile 7-35x zoom range, ED Japanese Glass, the innovative Variable Precision Reticle (VPR), and inherited ARKEN ZERO STOP (AZS) tactical turrets, the EP-5 Gen 2 7-35x56 is resetting the bar for the industry where innovation meets perfection.

• Chassis: MDT XRS – Retail Value $550

The XRS (Crossover Rifle System) provides the feel of a traditional stock with the modularity of a modern chassis.2 With a full-length aluminum backbone, adjustable length-of-pull, and comb height, it ensures a perfectly ergonomic fit for any shooter.

• Rings: HALO Ti™ Titanium Scope Rings (34mm) - $175

Introducing the ARKEN OPTICS HALO Ti™ Titanium Scope Rings—crafted with unparalleled precision and durability. These rings are CNC machined from a fusion of aerospace grade 7075 T6 aluminum and titanium, leaving ZERO tolerances for errors in any condition.

With Torx style socket screws and reinforced recoil lugs, these rings provide stability and a secure mounting platform, promising an exceptional shooting experience every time.

• Trigger: Trigger Tech – Retail Value $250

Featuring Zero-Creep Technology, this trigger provides a crisp, "breaking glass" reset. Its friction-less release allows for maximum shot-to-shot consistency, ensuring the only thing moving when you fire is the firing pin.

• Assembly – Retail Value $350

The "Practical Viking" Factor: You aren't just buying parts; you are buying a system assembled by a local expert. This ensures the barrel is timed, the action is torqued, and the optic is leveled to professional standards.
