I know mine won't be here for a while, as I ordered in January. But this is the first one I've ordered just for me that I didn't buy used. I'm stoked!
Remington 700 LA
Mountain rifle style
flush-cups
molded in forest camo
williams bottom metal
I have everything except the stock now.
Any other folks waiting on their precious?

I received my last one two weeks ago. Took 26 weeks.
Michael Jordan once told me that no one likes name droppers.
I would like to give a shout out to sidewalks for keeping me off the streets

I've got 3 on order.
Edge for model 7 pencil barrel and Edge for a model 7XCR 7mm-08 - ordered both around the end of December. Ordered mine with the pencil barrel Olive w/ black and grey speckles, my son's XCR is to be black with grey speckles. In all likelihood my pencil barreled 7mm-08 will become a 22" barreled 6.5 Creedmor before it ever goes into the stock.
Rifle #3 is a work in progress. Probably has low appeal to most, but its what I wanted:
Defiance Rebel Medium Action, milled to accept Wyatt's CFE-5 magazine box. Deep bolt fluting, round bolt knob, standard rear tang (supposed to be identical to factory Remington), hunter port - right hand action/right eject, sheep rear bridge (equivalent to factory Remington rear bridge, will accept standard Remington bases. Pacific Tool and Gauge Remington Short Action Oberndorf bottom metal. Talley lightweight aluminum, 30mm (low) (8-40) � stock #738700. Hart 9� twist, #3 contour, 7mm, 21� finished length, min shank, shallow flutes, stop flutes 2� from muzzle, chamber - 7mm-08. McMillan Hunters Edge, olive w/ black speckles, 1� Pachmayr Decelerator Recoil Pad. Jewell Trigger.
Optics undecided, leaning heavily to VX-6 2-12x42 w/LR reticle fire dot at the moment, but that's changed so many times....

Shilen trigger
Minox 5�30�56
Widden gunworks full size dies

New Lapua 260 brass
All I need is powder, primers, and bullets, and I ain't holding my breath to see any of those any time in the near future.

One classic for long action 700... going to complete the 375H&H that Eddie built for me... too long ago.
Rick was nice enough to let me in on the old pricing, even though I procrastinated to the very last minute. I don't mind waiting for something that's worth the wait.

Ordered my first one mid December. I got a edge for a pre64 FWT.
All of you guys ordering 2,3,4+ stocks are [bleep] everyone else over.....grin.
How long does it typically take I was thinking May, but now I'm not sure.

Well to help ease my worries with the wait I decided to order a few parts for my Remington. Sight fill screws, new magazine box, new torx bit action screws, and rings/bases from talley should be here soon. Then all of the metal is off to birdsong black T to be coated. Hopefully the mickey is in by then

I have two on order from mid December, a Game Scout and a A5, both for Defiance actions. Guns should be done any time now but by the looks of things it will be a while before the stocks show up.
