Wish the LOP wasn't 14" is the only thing I see being to turn me off from them. I like a short LOP personally.

Bandsaws work really well. Being 6'3" tall with 37" sleeves the 14" LOP seems short to me. It's relatively easy to shorten a stock but much harder to lengthen one.

Every rifle is test fired from a bench by a person. The Pic bases are on the rifles so one scope can quickly be moved from rifle to rifle for 100 meter test fire. The bases are removed and reinstalled on the next batch of rifles.
Sounds cumbersome but it is way faster than leveling a scope in Talley mounts thousands of times.

Looking forward to some more full fledged handling and accuracy reports.......
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I'll try to get a report in the next couple of weeks. Waiting on brass right now...and it's crunch time at work so it may be a while. I'll at least try to get some pics and details (weights, side by side, etc) in comparison to a Montana up this weekend.

What's the barrel contour compared to a Montana?

What's the barrel contour compared to a Montana? You've forfeited your privilege to ask questions after a couple of invites to shoot specific rifles that you've not accepted... Nah, invite's still open and I'll try to compare the contours, hopefully this weekend.
4. The 308 weighs five pounds flat with the 21" non-threaded barrel. As you know the weight will vary slightly by caliber and barrel length.
I threw the 21" 6.5 on a postal scale before I put it in the safe. It was a fraction of an ounce over 5lbs....so yeah, it varied a little less than slightly.
