I bought a McMillan stock with edge fill here on the fire for a great price and we cleaned up all the bedding that was in it which was a bunch. Titanium bedded the action and put micro slick on the bolt, cerakoted the action and barrel in Sniper Grey and cerakoted the stock in Dry Earth. I will weigh it tomorrow and report back.

Did you leave it at 24 inches? Did you do anything on a trigger swap? I think you did well.

That gun shot the 123 Amax in Fed .260 brass over 44.5 grains IMR 4350 pretty well in both the factory stock, and the Manners. 4350 and 123s seems the place to start (and often end) with the .260. Can't wait to see what that gun does to ole' Bob Barker..... I bet the price is very wrong....

Haven't done anything special to the trigger other than lighten it up a bit. Trigger upgrade will be next and maybe it for this rifle. Dogshooter worked up some loads that shot very well out of it before I switched the stock and had it cerakoted. I imagine it will still shoot so I don't plan on doing much more to it. I am not a bench rest guy, I just like to shoot critters with it so I am comfortable with the accuracy considering I never shoot off sandbags

That's a really nice set-up hunting rifle - really like the color combo on the stock/action.
Hope it brings you much hunting luck - will be expected to see it propped up on a big old muley sometime:)

Looks good. What did you end up dong to it. What does it weigh as pictured. It's 7lbs 14oz scoped and its 8lbs 11oz with the bipod. Not too bad and all I did was change the stock out. I knew it wasn't going to be a lightweight rifle and am happy with it just as it is. Range report soon...

That is not bad at all...be interested when you get to load for it what bullets used and if you can kiss within the constraints of the mag box...Looks like a good hunting set up to me...
