Dumped the scope for $150. Got another $75 for the stock and Flave gave me $50 for the trigger. I figured $175 in deep for a action wasn't to bad. Back in August I started making a few phone calls and the last piece just came in. Well I still need a trigger and scope so it looks like something in the safe is getting robed. Now I just need Redneck's address.

It looks pretty good sitting in the stock but if I had it to do over, I would have had McM inlet for the #5 Brux. Nothing a little sanding won't fix. Last edited by Les7603006; 04/19/15.

My dies are gunna be here next week miracously and I'll have everything I need for mine. What bullets are you looking to shoot out of it? What twist did you go with? What are you going to finish you barrel length at? -Matt "The proof of the whisky is in the drinking, the proof of the rifle is in the shooting."
