This is my first personal centerfire bolt gun. SPS Varmint in .308. Got the rifle in about a week ago and swapped the barreled action into the B&C stock. Haven't had it to the range yet. Did the knob today. Designed it to look like the turrets on the Bushnell scope. I also pulled scope base off and bedded it with JB Weld this afternoon. We'll see how that turns out tomorrow. Lots of great info on this site!

That looks awesome, I want one for my R700!

That is really nice work.

Sweet looking knob. I just built mine out of solid copper barstock and painted, but yours looks PRO!

Hey thanks everyone. It is nice to have the capability to make pretty much anything. I popped the scope base off this morning and the JB Weld skim bedding looks awesome. I am going to get this rig to the range this week!
