Its a built for me FMR RS1 with a 26 inch 1:9 barrel and a suppressor in .260 Remington.
Looked at the 6.5 Lapua and 6.5 Creedmore and settled on the .260..
Ready to go to the range..

Good stuff, enjoy shooting with it, my own preference is always for the old fashioned bolt action, wood stocked rifle in .243, 7 x 57, 30-06 and .375 H & H Mag.

I have some of those as well... Win 70 XTR, Mauser 98K, Vz 24, .22 Lr etc.
However for competitive purposes or long range shooting need to step up a little. Have .300 WM and this for scrtching the target at ranges upto 1000 meters.

True not based in India. Am in Europe.
Nope didnt build it my self, had it made by a small boutique maker in France. The rifle isnt all steel, but a fair amount of it is. And yes that is a silencer. Besides the obvious noise reduction it has the effect of reducing recoil to .22 lr levels.
I will post up pictures of targets once I have zerod in the rifle, and have a load worked up for it.
