Barrel is a Benchmark in the Rem Sporter contour @ 23”, PTG aluminum bottom metal, trigger tech set at 2.5#, and McMillan Classic. They cerakoted the bolt graphite and everything else Tungsten. They also did the tungsten speckling on the stock. The bolt fluting and hex shroud was done by LRI. Everything else was done by Tumbleweeds. 70 in 300 win mag. Barrel is a Bartlein 2B @ 24”, McMillan (olive, black, tan), factory trigger tuned to 2.5#, and all metal bead blasted. This was my first time using Tumbleweeds Rifles. I was very pleased with the whole process and quality of work. anonymous image hosting

ETA: What bottom metal on the Rem? Last edited by 257heaven; 01/30/21. Sent from my Dingleberry Handheld Wireless

I figured it was a pretty good time to sell a few off to finance the builds. I wanted a nice do it all pair. I have a youngster showing interest but I have a good while to put some use on them

I have a youngster showing interest but I have a good while to put some use on them That is the route I went a few years ago. Decided a couple rifles that were exactly the way I wanted them and used frequently was better than a safe full of guns that were used sporadically. You did well with those two, beautiful builds.
