That’s beautiful. Shame about the bolt. Couple questions - did you supply the legend? And what mounts are those - something Gene makes? Appreciate it … and congrats on a fantastic build!

WOW! Now you're talking! That's a deer getter or about anything else. Nice choices on that rifle and man, awesome build. Congrats!

Couple questions - did you supply the legend? And what mounts are those - something Gene makes? I supplied the stock. I bought 3 from D’Arcy a few years back. I’m down to my last one. This one was built on a carbon fiber fill. Gene makes his own scope mount (and the bolt knob). He surface grinds the receiver to make it perfectly in line with the barrel. Seems to work 👍🏻. I wish he could retrofit my 416 with his scope mount, but it has to be done at the same time the barrel is fitted.

Beautiful rifle. From the photos the fit of the stock seems to be excellent. Love the contrasting color of the recoils pad.
Nicely done.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Great looking rifle! I hope you got a discount for the bolt being on the wrong side

Nice Build.
Gene Simillion is about as good as it gets for precision barreling/chambering for hunting rifles .
I currently have two 300 Mags a Short Throated .300 Wea. And a .300 H&H done by Gene and they are two of the most accurate hunting rifles I have owned. I love .270’s for deer and pronghorn hunting. Just having a rt hand .270 pre 64 , Krieger barrel , Echol’s McMillan Legend, action/barrel work done up by Mark Penrod that is at the stocker now. Hope it shoots as well as yours .

Pretty sweet rifle for a lefty..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Just right. Gene is a prince of a guy. He can do it all.
