Here are the specs:
Rem 700 LA trued and squared = 30-06 caliber
Spiral fluted bolt w/ Patriot Arms bolt knob
Patriot Arms oversized recoil lug
Rock Creek Barrel = #3 contour, 1-11.25 twist, finished at 24"
McMillan Sako Hunter stock = standard fill, 14" LOP, pillar/skim bedded, Woodland camo
Old style Rem 700 trigger & BDL bottom metal
Badger base and rings
All metal Cera-Koted in matte black
Scope will be a S&B Zenith 1.5-6x42mm
The rifle is pretty light weight - haven't weighed it yet, but probably right around 7#. It handles and balances perfectly - it will make a great hunting rifle!!
The boys did a great job on this rifle - a big shout out to Jered, Dave & Wild Bill!!

Congrats - that looks like it should work just fine:) I like that style camo on a stock. Let us know how it shoots.

Thanks guys!! I will have a range report in a week or so.
This will definetly be a carry all over rifle - it's lighter than I thought it would be.

Don't worry, that S&B glass will fatten it up for you.

Thanks for the compliments guys!!
Sako75,
I already have the Scmidt&Bender Zenith 1.5-6X42. I think it could be the best hunting scope I have ever used!!
I use nothing but S&B's on all my rifles - I love their scopes.
