It sure is! Very nice setup. A couple questions if I may... looks like they spec that rifle with a #3 Bartlein; that's just a skootch heavier than a Remington Mag profile barrel, which is what I was thinking I'd use. However the Bartlein #3 has a lot more shank. Interesting. A Rem profile would certainly be easier to fit to various stocks... you guys like the longer shank? And, how much COAL is that DBM setup giving you, and do you feel you need it with the 6.5 GAP?
Antelope (and just plain fun) are the driving force behind this build... I have the points, after 15 years, to finally pull an Oregon tag. We were going to do it this year but but my youngest needs installed into her college dorm right in the middle of the season; I can't miss that.
Thanks much guys.
No reason you have to keep the full shank put it in your lathe and cut some off 1"-11/4" is just about perfect, if your wanting a 9# all up rig use a #3 ,better yet get yourself a 2B for a little less weight!
