Guess I'm old fashion, I don't like the FDE/Tan Cerakote on the metal parts. Give me Graphite Black or Burnt Bronze

Oh, forgot about trying to hide. I go for looks but then I'm a little colorblind so there's that. Plus, you know I just sit in a blind, so, I guess I could hunt with a yellow rifle. I love the stock on Lone Star Cobras rifle above.

I already had the 700 action and took everything to my 'smith to get built and he saw me coming. Ended up going home with 2 when it was all said and done.

I went through a couple of suppliers looking at rifle build components for a possible future build. By the time I even found what I wanted in stock. The prices were astronomical.
Barrel
Stock
action
trigger
bottom metal
Looks like Maybe a Weatherby, Browning, SAKO, Seekins, Bergara or even a Tikka.
Think after this exercise, unless I want to compete again, a factory should do.
Waiting on a custom, stocking up on reloading components is fun.
