Great-looking (and shooting) rifle.
I see you're using a Javelin bipod-- is it attached to a second sling swivel stud inlet or did Gene install one of the female gunsmith adapters?

It’s really slick- has a rare earth plug that makes the stock flush when it’s not installed. The rare earth magnet on the bipod pulls the plug out when you use it. If you install it one direction it is solid, if you turn it 180 degrees it allows you to swing it on moving targets. I’m going to have the gunsmith mounts on all my other rifles now. It’s that good.

I’d like to see a picture of the gunsmith adapter in that stock.

I’m curious because < I really like that rifle…………… Haven't loaded any rounds yet, so I haven't duplicated the test target load. Did get to the range with 3 factory loads. Not quite as accurate, but minute of deer. 3 Shot groups  100 Yards Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 136G = .556 Federal Premium Nosler Partition 150G = .934 Barnes Vortex 130G = .628
