POTD: Precision in 6.5 Creedmoor - Tikka, Spuhr and Schmidt & Bender

Some rifle builds come together as a sum of parts. Others arrive as a statement. This one leans toward the latter.

The foundation is a Tikka TAC A1 in 6.5 Creedmoor, a platform that has quietly earned a serious reputation among precision shooters who want chassis-rifle capability without the chassis-rifle price tag. It sits in a category where the round does a lot of the work, and 6.5 Creedmoor continues to prove itself the sensible choice for anyone shooting at distance who hasn't already committed to something more exotic. Everything else just works.
