What's not to like is that it isn't a 7-08.
Kidding. I have 3 308s here now. One is a favorite.
Very nice rifle.....

beautiful, who did the stock work? Thanks, I actually bought that blank on ebay for $35.00. Sent the blank to Dennis Olson in Plains, Mt. He used his pattern to turn the blank for me. I did the final fitting and finish work. I used Art aka Sitka Deer's warm epoxy finish method then sent to Tim Smith Lyon for checkering.

All but the Remington 700 .243 are favorites. And I'm working on that one. If I was obsessive of the looks of them I'd never take them out of storage. They are tools! Ok that 770 loan collateral rifle I was obligated to buy back from a friend of my deceased brother is a pos. I finally have a boat gun that is never gonna become a hunting rifle as the last two did ( they turned out to be really good shooters!) Come to think of it that 770 may be the best looking rifle I have......

Sounds like a sweet set up. A Lyman 48 sure seems handy to carry and I'd like to try the same one year. Will be waiting for the pics. Took this out for "sight-in" day today. Snapped a cell phone picture while I was at it. 6lbs, 12oz as shown. Balances just behind the front action screw at the floor plate hinge. Pretty handy to grab and carry right around the front receiver ring. The old eyes ain't what they used to be. However, I think I should be able to put a fat doe in the freezer at the ranges I typically hunt here on the farm. And yes BSA... This project is all your fault...

Great rifle Orion. We'll call that the BSA color scheme I guess. BSA has agreed to sell his to me when he's done with it....wink

Were you able to zero it with the factory front sight? My 30-06 featherwight shot high.
Too close for irons, switching to scope...

I've always liked the Sendero SFII's too. Brushed stainless with blackened flutes is nice. This one's been bedded in Steel Bed and Jewell trigger in 7mmRM. Shoots 168VLD's around 1/2".
