Beautiful! I had thought of an identical blueprint in 6.5x55 using the XM action. What did it end up weighing as pictured?

Congrats! Great bunch of parts put together by one of the best. Might need to get Jon to build me another one of these days!

Yup, that 2b is a nice contour for building a hunting rifle. I have another one in the works now - sort of a budget build .243 that should be completed in the next month or so.
Jon sure did a bag-up job on yours though, heck is a nice guy to work with IMHO.

Great build, What scope you going with? Still trying to decide been a tough decision , I like the NF 2.5x10x42 but still trying to decide if I want a little higher power on this rifle without going to heavy!

Looks like a really nice rifle. I'm sure it will shoot great too.
