About a year I started sourcing parts for a 6BR build. Not too far into the project I had a change of heart and I decided to go .308. With the input and help of some members here (looking at you Al Nyhus) here is where it ended up. Kelbly Atlas Tactical Bartlein 11.25 TW Rem Varmint contour Grayboe Renegade w/ AICS bottom metal Triggertech Special Cerekote FDE I need to switch the trigger for a black model as when it came in I just tossed it in the box of parts and didn't look at it. Overall...It turned out great, I'm well pleased with it and Mike was a pleasure to work with. Now I have to work on getting it scoped and to the range. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/VqRKVP2/image0.jpg)

Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

Which 308 chamber did you have Mike cut? I know he lists several.

Well, that's a mighty handsome package. I'll bet it shoots as good as it looks.

Get it scoped up and ready to go hunting.
Take care.

By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.
