I just picked up a 6.5 creedmoor in the first lite camo. My local gun shop had a sale also. Just as you been eyeing one for a while. I brought it home and cleaned it good and took off the top rail just to make sure screws had some blue loctite. Well I didn't know that top rail holds down the tiniest spring for the bolt release. So be careful if you remove the rail. Out of 4 screws only one had some loctite. So I cleaned up the threads and added just a touch of blue and re tightened. I have a direct thread Nomad I took off my long range gun and put it on the Cross, it looks bad ass. I just ordered the Ergo tdx 0 degree grip which feels good to me from my other rifle and a short piece of picatiny rail for my bipod. Now I'm looking a good hunting scope because this is what I'm going to mainly use it for. I'm looking at Leupold vx Freedom 3x9x50 with illuminated dot. What are ya'lls thoughts on the Leupold?
