I finally got to pick up my rifle today and it turned out great! I've had a bunch of the parts for 7 or 8 years and finally decided to get it done. It started life as a stainless 270 barreled action that I bought from a fellow member. I had that barrel removed and had a 22" Brux 280 installed in a bell and Carlson medalist stock. Action was blueprinted and all trued up. Bolt work was done by LRI. Then it was all cerakoted in graphite black. For now I topped it with a vortex viper 2.5-10x44. Can't wait to see how it shoots!
My first custom

Beautiful rifle!
How was your experience with Shultz?
Really good experience with Shultz. I'll probably have him build me another one.
That's great to hear. It's a nice rifle chambered in a great cartridge, congrats!jmoreland":160a8b14 said:

Why spend all that money on bolt and not having bolt knob threaded. I found out hard way , time I bought rem 700 action, had it trued, blueprinted, sako extract, and everything else I went been better to have just bought custom action . Would have came out cheaper. But you have nice looking gun. I have a stock in that color red on my stw.jmoreland":3dzd5jgl said:

I'll probably be taking it back out to the gunsmith in a few months to have him put a knob on there. He builds them.
