Well a few months back after doing some trading and swapping I wound up with most of the parts to put together a custom rifle. Here's the specs and the parts: Rem 700 SA Rem BDL bottom metal HS Precision Sendero/Varmint stock Bartlein 7mm 1-9 5R twist Sendero/Rem Varmint contour Rifle Basix trigger set at 30 oz Larue 20 MOA base Seekins 4/6 low rings SWFA SS 3-15 Scope Seekins SRS bipod mount (on backorder) Atlas V8 Bipod w/ Larue QD mount (not pictured) Triad Tactical stock pack First the parts were sent of to Robert Snyder of RW Snyder Gunsmithing in Iowa. He's a really well known smith and gave me a great deal. He originally quoted me 10 weeks but I had it back in a little more that 7. Dang good service and will definitely use him again. Here's what all he did and some pics afterwards: Blueprinted the action and bolt Upgraded the recoil lug to custom one that he makes Cut the barrel to 24" mounted and crowned While the rifle was away, I painted the stock myself: Gray Kyrlon w/ black webbing spray. I did the one for my win mag at the same time in tan. Next, it went to Marty at Twisted Barrel LLC in Wyoming for some fluting work. He was also fantastic and did a really fast turnaround. His work is top notch and he uses a CNC machine. Here's what he did along with some pics: Spiral fluted the barrel Milled the reciever Spiral fluted the bolt Threaded the bolt knob and installed a badger knob (he also did a knob for my 5R win mag as well) Next I took the barreled action to Christian at Scalpel Arms here in Dallas for cerakote. Here's the barreled action afterwards: Color is Desert Verde, it's not nearly as green as it looks in the pictures. Lastly, I bedded and mounted the base, lapped the rings and put it all together. Here's the finished product: Haven't had it out yet but I'll throw up a range report once I do. Overall, I'm very pleased with everything and would highly recommend RWS, Twisted Barrel or Scapel Arms.

Been pretty quiet about that one man. It's sick! I love the spiral flutes. I wonder how much weight that saved ya.
Man if I knew what Oxner knows I could throw away what I know

Just curious. It just saves a little bit of weight and looks cool. That's all. You can see it better in these pics: Also had them stamp the twist on the underside of the barrel at RWS:

The twist stamp is a really good idea.

Thanks guys. The color definitely looks better in person. My camera skills are pretty weak.
