That looks like it will be a great package.
Some very nice componants there... Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

 

[duceman]

jefferson just enlightened me on the 6slr, really looks like a winner. good luck with the build, can't wait to see the result, lee

 

[Crashman]

Nice build, looks like it will be a great shooter. Keep us up to date with a range report!

 

[308BAR]

Awesome love to know what the final weight will be.

Who's going to be putting it together for you?

 

[ivo]

Thanks for a of the complements! The weight should come in at 5.5-6 lbs if my calculations are correct but I will be sure to weigh it when it is done.
I have been planning the build for quite a while now so it is nice to see it progress to the next level.
The stock was around $1200 all in I believe straight from Kyle at XLR, PM me if you want an exact number, I can look it up. Just having a local guy put it together.

Amazing collection of parts, going to make my gun look ghetto by comparison!

 

[308BAR]

Where did you order the Ti rings from?

Murphey Precision ships direct as they aren't controlled. I have the Ti rings and rail in the blasted finish. They are very good quality.

Its not what it looks like that counts, how it shoots is what matters. Did I tell you the story about when I got my azz kicked at a comp shooting my decked out TRG 22 by a 83 year old guy using some old POS Mauser action target rifle? LOL

The Ti rings came directly from Murphy Precision.

 

[Winchester 1886]

Ha,Ha,Tell us more about his POS Mauser action that kick your azz...

 

[Colquhoun]

You gotta watch some of those old dudes....they know sh!t eh!

Sort of know the feeling, a guy I recently shot with put his first 3 shots out of his gun into about .5 moa at 900+ meters. The TRG's must be the weak link eh? LOL!

 

[Sharpshooter jr.]

Where did that barrel come from and sorry who is building this beauty!

Don Hall put a whoopin on everyone that day. I went in so overconfident(as did a few others) and he quickly showed us who the Alpha male was in that pack. I relish in the experience now but I didn't feel so hot on my way home late that afternoon. I wouldn't pick up Don's gun for fear that someone would see me touching it, it really looked like a monkeys lunch but it shot lights out and more importantly so did Don. A great man that Don Hall.

Marcoman - you know that was all sh!t azz luck right?

Sharpshooter jr - The barrel is a Benchmark from North Shore Barrels with the carbon wrapping done by Proof Research. The smith is a local guy.
