Nicely done and that piece of wood is causing me to drool on my keyboard. Very well executed piece and very tasteful.

What loads are you working up for it?

That will depend a lot on the hunt I am preparing for--an antelope load will of course be different than an elk load. But I rather think of this case as ideally matched with 150-160 grain bullets.

It was worth the wait. There isn't anything not to like on this one. I really like the floor plate. Are you planning on hunting with it? That first good ding is going to hurt.

That's an extremely nice looking rifle Utah. Well done!!!! If I ever started using left handed rifles, I'd be lucky to find one half as nice as that one. Do you still have your model 70's, or did you sell all of those to build this one?

From a fellow lefty, that has a secret preference for the traditional blued on wood, that's just really, really nice.

How about more info on the wood?
