Used to be setup ^^ last 2 years ... ( I got the 6.5G(18) upper in last 2015 )

Current setup ^^ ...
Good tripod gun, got this yote trotting across the alfalfa patch at 141m with 123ELD

I love the external ballistics ... it is essentially a .308 on a small frame ... good out to 900yds ... and good energy also ...
My issue with the 6.5G caliber is shortage of the breadth and depth of the factory loads. The 123ELD is a good round ... the 123SST is a decent hunting rd ... but About a year ago ... I shot 2 boxes of 130 Berger hybrid (Federal Gold Metal) and selected that to be my new ammo. Since then, I've only been able to get one case of 200rds. I've had numerous backorders cancelled by various suppliers and many no longer even show the ammo, so currently this upper is de-activated, sitting on the shelf (with a coat of kroil in the chamber/barrel etc) waiting for the ammo to show up.
