Thanks for the update. Do you have any pictures of the assembled rifle? What can are you running? TBAC7?

Interesting that .020" wasn't enough clearance for the bbl and led to slapping and vertical strings. Have to keep that in mind for the future.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Planning to use a TBAC Ultra 5 Gen II once I get my stamp back. I have an Ultra 9 but I made the mistake of buying it with the .264" aperture so that wouldn't work out to well with .284 bullets. Tempted to thread my Omega 300 onto it in the meantime just to see how it does.

Definitely glad that it shoots after all of that work. It was the first rifle that I'd built on the new lathe so there was a learning curve.

How are you liking the stock? Carbon all terrain correct?

That is a beautiful stock! Did you paint it? I love that pattern and the colors.

Did I miss it, what twist is your barrel? I am getting my .257 weatherby (700 action) rebarreled to 7mm PRC with another #3 Bartlein. The twist is 8.7 which I thought a little odd.

You should be a happy camper with this build.
As you know, your rifle is bad to the bone.
