Well it's been 15 months since I first ordered the parts. I was trying for something solid with the possibility of doing a switch barrel non-mag/mag combo. Enter the bighorn action.

I haven't yet ventured into loading ammo so thinking availability/affordability was forefront in my mind. Enter the 30-06.

After I had all my parts I was really tempted to first start with the 28 nosler, but decided to not scratch that itch yet.

I shipped everything off to Tim Cronin of Elkhorn Precision and before long it all came back!

I'm not fully set on the scope but for now I think it fits the package well.

Specs

-Bighorn SR2 long action.
-Manners EH6 w/ BDL chassis
-Bartlein 2b
-Hawk Hill bottom metal
-Jewel trigger
-Murphy Precision 2 piece base
-Nightforce 2.5-10x42 w/ ultralight rings

Sorry for the bad pic, but all I have for the moment.

The barrel came out a little shorter than desired. Curious what chrono readings people have seen with factory 30-06 ammo with abut a 21" barrel?
