All three barrels are finished @ 22.5". The stainless barrel is a factory SPS sporter in 7MM-08 I had recrowned at 22.5". The Bartlein 2B is the center barrel, also a 7MM-08, the right one is a fluted Brux #3, in you guessed it 7MM-08:) Its a little hard to tell but like I had mentioned, about mid-point the 2B is pretty beefy, but tapers nicely. The muzzle on the 2B comes out a bit more than the Brux but not as much as the factory Rem sporter.

Overall it makes for a really well balanced rifle, especially in a short action.

Hey Oregonmuley thanks for the nice pics. All great rifles. May I ask which barrel contour is your pick of the litter. Thanks!

Tough choice, the Brux #3 is nice but that Bartlein 2B might just be the perfect "hunting rifle" contour. I decided not to have it fluted which I think was a good thing.

My #3 Bartlein is going into a Manners EH3. I am concerned that it is going to be super nose heavy. Both stock and barreled action are in Indiana being fitted. I have never seen the two paired. Am considering having barrel pulled off and turned down to a 2B. Have to decide in a day or so. Anyone have any thoughts either way? Is pulling and reinstalling a barrel a big deal on a 700 action? Barrel is 24" and chambered 280ai. Gunsmith ( "Redneck" from here) recommended having it turned down from the get go. My dumb ass did not listen. Now concerned about balance.

Dibs.... that's one of the coolest rigs I've seen posted in a while....

I just bought another one of those old Mark ARs yesterday.... 3-9 with the Mildot, was sitting on a shelf still in the shrink wrap... my favorite hunting scope of all time. Couldn't imagine a better rig for killing stuff.

That's a lucky find. I have 4 of the old Mark 2/AR scopes on various rifles, I think we might be 2 of the 5 people that liked them:)

Is that a standard or custom paint job on the stock?

I've always loved this rifle. Would you mind listing the build specs?

Sure thing - its nothing uber special but I like how it turned out. The bolt flute, bolt knob and side bolt release where all done by Karl Feldkamp @ Kampfeld Customs. Rifle build was done by Accurate Ordnance, good guys to deal with.

trued stainless Remy 700 short action
Sunny Hill .2405" lug
Timney thin shoe trigger @ 2.5 lbs
McMillan Classic Edge stock, 13.5 LOP, 1" pad & 2 stainless studs
pillar/glass bedded by AO
Badger M4 alloy bottom metal
Bartlein "2B" contour, 1-9" twist, finished @ 22.5"
Graphite Black Cerakote on all metal
Talley Lwt lows, older Leupold Mark 2 3x9x40 with LRD
GAP Flectarn paint by darrenk here on the campfire

7 lbs 5 ozs sans bi-pod

Frank, did you go with 1/2" shank on that one? I'm thinking of going that short with my next one. Thanks.

Yup, it might be a hair more than 1/2" but pretty much how I asked them to finish it. Almost looks/balances like a factory Remy sporter which isn't a bad thing.

Oregon Muley, like others I think you probably have the perfect 7mm08 build. Very Nice
