Re: SQUATCH .308

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.
 
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!

-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.

BTW, do they make that cheek pad in a lefty? I have a Triad without the storage, but want one like that but reverse.</div></div>
-Thank you! They do make one in left handed. Look on Tactical Works web site for a TacOps in left handed.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: SirDrinksAlot</div><div class="ubbcode-body">What kind of bipod is that?</div></div>
-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.
