I always seem to manage getting my custom builds right during the heat of bow hunting and it's all in part of my own poor planning. I received the stock exactly a year ago and it took me that long to order and send out everything else. I can't wait to shoot this to post range reports but hunting takes priority right now....hopefully this weekend while the Mrs and kid take a nap.

This is my second build by Jon Beanland and won't be my last. For those of you that don't know, he recently created a website here: http://beanlandrifles.com/ You can see more pics of my rifle in the "Recent Builds" section under Rifle #9.

Specs are as follows:
Rem 700 trued by Beanland
PTG Trigger Gaurd
Seekins 20 MOA Rail
McMillan A3 in McMillan Camo (ADL)
All bolt work by Kampfeld Custom
Rock Creek 1:8 Rem Varmint SS barrel fluted at Rock and finished at 24"
Chambered in .243AI and throated for 105 Amax/VLD by Beanland
PTG pinned recoil lug - Beanland
Shilen Trigger
All metal cerakoted in coyote tan - Beanland

Just have to get out and shoot some initial loads through it. I loaded a bunch of Amax's this evening.

Looks killer and based on the components and who did the work I have no doubt that it will be a hammer

That looks like quite a rig!

One of these days I'm going to have to get in contact with Mr. Beanland...

That is a nice looking rifle - congrats!!

I have a build with Jon right now, should be done in maybe a month or so - his new website is pretty slick! Heck of a nice guy to work with and builds really nice rifles.

I actually forgot to include it and edited the op thanks to your question. Knew I'd leave out something.
