I finished this build for my hunting buddy future Son in Law who is in his early 20's and he love hunting. He has been wanting me to build him a 25-06 for a while. I started Friday and trued the action, chambered, crowned the barrel at 24.5 inch's. Yesterday I fitted the stock and glass bedded. Today I finished the stock work and bead blasted the barrel. The barrel is an SS Shilen Select Match Number 4 contour, the stock is a Boyd Classic in Black Laminate. This is the finished rifle. I hope he likes it. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/bea175/Jonathan%20Rifle1_zpsiyr3r6iy.jpg)

Good choice of barrel and contour. I have two reamed as 6mm284. I am very pleased with mine. It hangs nicely offhand without being too heavy to carry.

I think I could tolerate that , and I'm not a Remington fanboy....... Looks awfully good, and I like the more-open pistol grip better than the tight thing Remington does with their stocks.

That's a lot of gunsmithing in 3 days. I am sure it will shoot as good as it looks.

Nice looking rifle. Excellent choice on wood and barrel. As for the caliber, someone chose the one that will do it all. I built one in 1969 using a M77 action and a Shilen 25-06 Premium barrel. Tack driver at 200 mtrs.
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.

Not my Daughter he is marrying, my hunting buddy Daughter. I built my SIL a AR-15 because that was what he was craving.
