Nice Rigs. Have to say though that bottom bolt handle looks like the shifter from the steering column from a 1969 Olds 98 I once owned. It looks much better in sage green.

Thanks guys,
The work was done by Patriot Arms
The green is called Sage Green by Jered at Patriot
The stock color is
50% Dark Tan
25% Medium Tan
25% Olive green
I was hitting a 15" square at 950 yards with the 7mm-300wsm. Ive shot 2" groups with my 6.5-284. Jered builds outstanding rifles

I would like to come down and do some shooting, and fishing. My 7mm-300wsm turned out really well. Ive got a 50yard indoor range and I usally take my rifles there go break in the barrels, fireform the brass and get them on paper. 3 shots went measured was .287inches with the subtracted .284 the group size was .003. Granted only 50yards but ive got Anschutz .22 that dont group like that let alone shooting a 180gr bullet. The fatboy brake is sick! You better have some hearing protection on when you fire it off.
