Looks good boomer!
Now order yourself some JO metal …

There is no bottom metal for the SL yet...

Looks great 👍

Nice work boomer. What max COAL in that configuration?

Rifle started bare at 5lb12.7oz.

FWIW
With a 180 ELD-M, COAL at kiss was 3.005". Not bullet of choice here, just one that was handy.

Max mag length I'd go is about 2.825", and looks like there's damned little room to gain without modding the receiver.

You'll definitely know when it goes off!

I love those old Weaver rings, too bad they're not matte!

Uber rings for display only. 😁

How it's going to stay.

Pretty sporting of you to go scopeless and sightless if it's truly staying as pictured.

It's got to be top heavy with those fn rail sections. If it's staying that way, good luck..

You're dreaming. Top heavy because of an ounce of aluminum?

LOL




Been more in love lately, it's growing on me. Worked on the fit and float some more. Fixin to maybe even shoot it!

Super top heavy now with steel rings and Leupy 2-7! LOL

Nice carving job on that stock. I wish I had the skills to trim down the plastic on my howa minis.

LMAO!

Sweet looking rig!

I’ll stop by and borrow it for a weekend 😁

Boomer-

That really looks nice! Interested to know how it shoots once you get the kinks worked out. Very nice!

Handled that rifle the other day and it was sweet. Would make a great sheep hunting rifle. Boomer does excellent work. Got a stock there now for painting.

Good! Someone needs to!
