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.

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.
