Just got my barreled action back from LRI yesterday, extremely pleased with the work and the overall experience, it was a 5 week turnaround.
Sent them: Rem. 700 SS SA Proof .264 24" Sendero Light NightForce 20MOA Base
Had them do the Tier 1 Accurizing package on the action, install tac knob, flute the bolt, thread the muzzle, fit the barrel for ELD-X,and Cerakote McMillan Olive.
Have Burris XTR ii 5-25, NF Ultra Light Rings and M5 bottom metal for it, just waiting on the custom inletted McMillan Game Warden w/Adjustable cheek to come in.

Sounds like a peach! Would be great for a pronghorn hunt...hint.
Where do you plan on stretching its legs out at? The range at Bass N Bucks goes to 750 and is only $15 for the day. If you need a spotter or want a tag a long let me know.
I got a buddy out by Ladoga that has a nice range, it goes out to 500yds on his property then his neighbors has a grass lane landing strips that can be stretched out to 1k plus.. He's the one that got me into this as I did some 1k shooting last time out there and had a hoot.

Nice! It's apparent I need better friends...

Lol. I could easily be your friend and use your range.
After a long wait that drove me absolutely crazy the stock finally arrived. Very pleased with the end result.. Now to see how it shoots tomorrow!

I haven't put it on a scale and don't even have one at home.. but if I had to guess- 8lbs

thinking about building another in 6mm/243 so I can also deer hunt in Indiana with it.

its a long story on how I ended up with a 6.5 but I want to build the same gun in 6mm/243 so I can hunt with it in Indiana.
My buddy has a machine shop and he just started tinkering with reaming barrels (he bought a 6.5CM PTG reamer) and I was initially going to have him do mine, but after buying a proof I didn't want to have him practicing on it. So I sent it to LRI and during the whole process I had a lot of fun sourcing the pieces and putting it all together.
So if it sells I'll do it again and if it doesn't I have a really sweet gun to punch paper with and hopefully one day take on a mule deer hunt or something out west.

It is! Thanks.. I was really pleased with the end result.. and maybe Indiana will update the law before next season to include calibers between the legal 243 & 30.. not holding my breath

and an X-Mark Pro trigger. Right?
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
