I sent Keith and Brad of Phoenix Custom Rifles a box of parts, and they sent me back a masterpiece. It's a .243 built for the Dtacs. Build components as follows: Manners T4 Savage LRP Target Action Bartlein barrel from CSTactical Atlas with ADM mount from Triad Tactical Vortex Viper from Liberty Optics Tactical Muscle Brake Phoenix Knob from Phoenix Custom Rifles Alpha Mag from Triad Tactical CDI bottom metal All that is missing is a Large Stock Pack from Triad Tactical. I want to thank PCR for doing such an amazing job. Keith and Brad went out of their way to be helpful and were in constant contact informing me of the build status along with sending pictures. I would highly, highly recommend PCR for any work you need done. Enough talk, on to pictures:       The only regret I have is not getting better glass. I'll be saving for a PST after SHOT

that is really nice. I am just curious why did you get a brake on the .243? Wish I could afford a custom rifle...someday

The .243 with dtacs rivals a 6.5-284 ballistically speaking.

Should be against the rules to post a pic of a new build without a 5 x 5 target group
