Well for a few years I have been wanting a custom bolt gun. I am proud to say after a lot of research and help it is now done! Not that it matters but, I hope you like it. I didn't want it to look like anybody else's that I've seen. Build Specs: - Stiller Predator Action, Bolt knob, and Bottom Metal - Brux #3 Contour with Hybrid Fluting @ 21.5" - Timney 2# Trigger - McMillan Hunter Stock in Black, OD, and Orange - Talley LW High Rings - Cerakoted in Satin Black - Leupold 2x10x50 CDS - Shoots 130 Berger VLDS into very small groups at 2810 FPS Weighs in about 8 1/4 LBS.

Very nice! I like the colors in the stock. P
No doubt about the AR crap, just damn shame hunters don't have self control and knowledge

I fingered that rifle the other day, feels good. Too bad it's handicapped with a golden ring Leupy on top of it.

BIL, The phone pic you sent of your proposed stock during the build was no where as good as this.
Those colors knock my lights out. Truly one of a kind type. The rifle is da bomb. You took your time and came out with a great combination and apparently a great gunsmith.
Kudo's to you and the builder.

Don't let your ears hear what your eyes didn't see, and don't let your mouth say what your heart doesn't feel As much as I hate to admit it, I do like my truck
