Is that a heat-shield on top of the barrel? If yes, which model is it and how's attached?

Reduces mirage from barrel heat messing with your sight picture.

Are you going to tell us a bit more about the specs? Nice looking stick though. How do you like the stock?

Specs were added under the pics. Sorry I didn't post the first time.

I love the A5's. I wasn't on a budget so needless to say I picked what I liked best. I also bought two different actions and two BM's just to be able to pick. I started with two barrels and have a third (fluted) on the way. Other than the fluting, I have no regrets.

What bullet is it throated for? Also, that is some serious magnification on the scope there.

Re: My latest build...

Throated for the 105 VLD family. I have around 7 bullets of different makes to try...let the testing begin!

Nice build. I'm looking at the same stock for my SPS varmint. Any problems with the bipod spigot on the forearm rail? Looking forward to the range report.

No problems yet. I bought a couple of different adaptors for the anschtuz rail and picked the one that seemed the most "beefy". Once I tighten it down with an allen wrench it seems rock solid...time will tell.
