Turned out to be a handsome rig - 05/13/19
Put together for a friend who had a loose idea of what he wanted and a rough budget, so I bought all the parts, had the metalwork done, and bedded it.

700SA
VLS take-off stock
Fluted 21.5" X-Caliber SS barrel, 1-8" twist, 6.5 Creedmoor, Rem Varmint contour
Timney nickle trigger
Cerakote
Bushnell LRHSi 4.5-18x
It goes 10.5lbs in the Talley LW's.
My father also did a fluted VLS clone at the same time but in all SS and in .243win, also an 8" twist and throated to make lands inside his mag box with heavies.
They were looking for rifles that were easy to shoot, pleasing to the eye, and maneuverable in a box stand. They're both in the timber business, hence the laminates. Anxious to see how the rifles shoot. They handle well and offer good balance, considering the weight.
