Not a big fan of ‘coatings’ in general, but it is supposedly super thin, super slick and super hard. Anyhow, after considering the additional time, and cost I decided not to do it because my only reason for wanting a coating was to keep it from being silver. So, had Shaen cerakote it and not coat any part of the bolt that is inside the receiver or the lug ways inside the receiver. Last edited by drano 25; 09/20/22.

Pretty sure Shaen has some sort of magic pixie dust he uses on his 7MM-08 builds or actually all his builds. I can tell you the 2 7MM-08's he did for me are both outstanding shooters. To the OP - congrats on one beautiful build, excellent list of parts and should be a great hunting rig!! Last edited by Oregonmuley; 09/21/22.
