I have had this one in the works for a while now and pretty pleased how it turned out. I was going back and forth on the .260 and the Lapua, but settled here. I wanted to get some pics outside but currently 12°F, 20-25 mph winds and 10" of new snow. Hopefully will get a bit nicer by this weekend so I can shoot it. Not sure what happened in the pics after I moved the chairs, but put a reddish hue to everything. The close ups are more representative of the stock colors. The rifle handles and balances better than I thought it would. If anyone has a Rem 700 they are wanting to tune up, I strongly recommend Chad Dixon up in Sturgis. Great guys to work with and fantastic work.

Dang, I dig that, Matt!

Very nice all the way around. One of the cleanest bolt fluting patterns that I've seen!

I wanted it to be more "handy" than "speedy". For what I'll use it for I am very optimistic after seeing Bob's Thread for what I am wanting to get out of the 139gr Scenars.

It fits me like a glove. I threw the action in it with zero issues. The fit was fantastic.
 
Nice looking rig!

How well does the PTG bottom metal feed the 47L cases? I should be picking up a 6X47 this weekend and have been thinking about trying one of them.

Are you using the standard 308 magazine or did it require any modification to the feed lips?

Just ran about 20 rounds through it and the mags run perfectly....no concerns whatsoever. Just running 308 mags with no mods.
 
Very very nice. !! I'm also a short barrel guy. I chopped the 26" barrel on my 6.5 Creedmoor from the factory to 18.6" . It goes a little slower but is still just as accurate as it was. But it is so much handier and all around funner to have with me all the time. . Yours is a lot prettier than mine! Hope yours keeps them in the. .1s
