They are very very nice, but I have only one question. If you have that kind of dough to experiment into the pricey custom world, why make them all exactly the same color scheme and optics? Just a question, no pun intended.. I was just thinking that if I was well off enough to have a squad of sexy customs, I'd like to shake things up a bit with the color schemes and maybe different optics.. But that's just me, I'm sure you have a perfectly good reason for it. I'll never be able to afford anything even remotely close to that.. I am jealous..

Toyotas hold their resale pretty well but I'll bet you could sell any one of those for nearly what you paid for them and I'd like to see someone do that, with a Toyota Camry.

I'm interested in hearing what the OP's take on this is but with regard to optics, I used to do that to some degree, had a variety of scopes on my different centerfire rifles.

For me, what I didn't like was once I got used to one, then got behind something with a different setup, I felt like I was searching around back and forth to get comfortable. Now, all my centerfire rifles have NF scopes and no matter what I grab, they all feel the same and I can't tell the difference from one to the next.
 
I guess that makes good sense B23, I love the rifles, and the optics are top notch as well.. I just like different options and Camo/color schemes.. I understand totally about the rifles feel, especially someone that might be shooting comps. I just like having all my rifles different from one another to keep my interest peaked and so each one has its own characteristics that I like... I guess I'm just a little weird.. Like I said before, I'm not being negative about Skinney's rifles, they are bad a$$.. If I could have those types of toys, you can bet your [beeep] I would.. Damb nice rifles Skinney!!

I completely understand what you're saying and I used to think similarly and even now, I still "like" a variety of different shapes, colors, styles, etc. etc. but it seems whenever it's time for me to pick out what it is I "want" I, too, seem to always pick stuff that is nearly, if not, just like what I already have. I'll try just about any type of pizza but I always order the same one. lol

I understand your question... These are me and my teams rifles, not for competition, but for mid to LR work including but not limited to steel, deer, antelope and possibly coyotes if the 88 grain CEB's don't destroy the fur.
The one on the right with the smaller contour barrel is my 7 year olds, I documented the build on video, and LRI actually let him build it himself, it was amazing and fun, and it all stemmed from his back to back consecutive hits at 1200yds with my 338 when he was 5. It will all be shown on his Rifle build documentary I'm putting together now.

The concept of these rifles are simple, same chamber easy for us all to reload for, same caliber, twist, length, etc. lets us all run the same projectile with the same powder, and basically the same trajectory. AI worked with us on the Chassis and it was my decision to pursue their business, same with the Mausingfield M5 and the barrels... The optics is the same principle, running the H59 in all USO ER-25's, allows us all to be on the exact same page, with sufficient magnification, especially teaching my 7 year old the ropes of mil/mil dial or holdover for distance or range, Not to mention if we are in the field hunting shooting etc. it makes it very easy for the shooter / spotter to see and make corrections if needed using the FFP H59!
