Stockade Woodchuck Stock w/ Rail
Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 MRAD
20MOA EGW Base
TPS Low Rings
Rifle Basics Trigger @ 2lbs
TacOps Cheek Pack
Marine Tex (by yours truly)

and some other odds and ends.

Very nice! I have a 18.5" 1-10" twist Criterion on my ar308 and it shoots great. Mine likes 168gr SMK and 178gr Hornady hpbt bullets.

If you need me to break it in I could send you my address to ship it. Haha

Fine looking rig!

Wow that looks awesome! How do you like the Woodchuck stock? Been thinking of ordering one.

Re: SQUATCH .308

That is a slick looking rig.

You just can't beat the Stevens 200 for a good donor action to build on. I have 2 of them. One is center feed and the other is stagger feed. The stagger feed is getting converted to .223AI. I am going to go with a Criterion barrel also.

Did you get your barrel from Jim Briggs? I saw the other day that he is raising prices the first of the year.

You did an excellent job!

Piece of art, post some groups as soon as you can.

BTW, do they make that cheek pad in a lefty? I have a Triad without the storage, but want one like that but reverse.

-I love the Woodchuck. It requires some extra work if you get the unfinished but well worth it if you are able to do it yourself.

-Thank you! They do make one in left handed. Look on Tactical Works web site for a TacOps in left handed.

-That bipod I believe is a coldwell that I used just for the pictures. I personally like to use a bipod that allows me to cant the rifle in either direction. That one does not.


Thanks everyone for the great feedback! Its what I enjoy doing in my spare time.
