Looks good, the two tone turned out better than I thought it would.

You have him do any mods to the magazine for increased OAL?

Awesome rifle. Well thought out. Nothing better than a MR stock paired with a #2 contour.

Very nice Sir. Well thought out. Some physical issues are forcing me to give up heavier rigs. I need a light (null recoil) rifle for ground blinds. You have provided food for thought my friend. Well done!

I might have to send this M600 action back to him. Bought it from him a while back and didn't have him put the rifle together. It was my indecision that caused it, not Shaen. Be Well. Rustyzipper

Sorry fellas, been busy as hell but found a little time this afternoon to shoot. Shot 2-10rnd groups to adjust zero. Sorry for the s#!ty pick, the top group measured about 1.6" with a flyer that was 3/4" out, not typical for this rifle. The bottom group is very representative of what I'm seeing so far. While doing load work up, I shot several 5 shot groups in the .3's and .4's from sandbags and the bench. Very happy with the way it turned out and how it shoots! Got about 800 Amax's leftover that I'm gonna put through this rifle before moving on to Eld's... ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/024yW6QY/001.jpg) Edited to add: Barrel was allowed to cool between groups but not between shots.

Shaen knows how to bush a bolt and turn a pin! These loads are most definitely north of 60K psi........ ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/FHDzyPSK/002.jpg) X-VERMINATOR

Great looking rifle; glad to see you are shooting 10 shot groups instead of the usual 3 shot BS groups we see so much of here so that everyone can have a "MOA" rifle.

MM Agree 100% MM. I could have cherry picked several 3-shot groups in the .2's and 5-shot groups in the .3's and .4's but 10-shot groups are far more representative of the true accuracy of a shooting system, IMO.. I've since shot enough 10 shot groups, prone from a bipod to say it's easily a sub MOA rifle  ..... X-VERMINATOR
