Thanks to you all for the kind words. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. It was quite the experience.


MB- I'm right there with you, I started with a 700 and I'll likely end with one. They aren't perfect but I sure do like them.

LBP- specs are

700 ADL, Douglas barrels did the work. They installed one of their 10twist XX barrels (22" and factory sporter contour) on it and blue printed the action. The stock is a McMillan edge in Olive with Black and Tan Speck. Pillar and Glass bedded. Trigger is a Trigger Tech Special set at 1#. Cerekoted graphite black. Zeiss conquest 3-9 in a set of Talleys. A simple no frills hunting rig that tips the scales at 7# scoped.
