I've got the identical barreled action/cal/contour/length/brake setup. I love it. I think you'll enjoy it

Thanks bkw1911! The action is a bit tight after the cerakote, I'll just have to sit in front of the TV and wear it in.

I took sandpaper to mine and ripped it all off. There's still coating in the flutes so it looks good but it was miserable with coating. Just a little dust and it felt worse than a stock Remington

The bolt lift feels a bit gritty, probably got some leftover Aluminum oxide media, I'll have to break down the bolt tonight and give it a good blast of air and solvent.

looks great. Nice job on the stock, looks professionally done.

Nice! I just got a Defiant .308 S/A to start my first build!

Want another .308, might go .260 remington....

Thanks JimmyAGR.

hunterb, I went through all the caliber debates for a long time prior to building this rifle. Ultimately, my decision was made for me... My local club is a part of PRS and I went with 6.5 Creedmoor so I can hopefully stay competitive... I know many people will say you can still be competitive with a .308, but PRS 2013 stats say otherwise. But .308 sure has a lot more compatible powders to choose from... H4350 is a pain to find.
