Looks good. Two years is about how long it took me to get my 6.8 AR together. Getting ready to purchase a 700 AAC-SD. Hopefully it will go together quicker.

Robert Gradous built it for me and he actually chose the colors. It's dark earth. The bolt couldn't get any coloring cause the tolerances were too tight. And I do still have I get a can for it...

Nice looking rifle..... </div></div>

took me a year to get all the parts in, action, barrel, stock. I ordered the stock late becasue I didn't realize that there was a wait on a stock... poor planning on my part. then a year for Robert to build it. He does AMAZING work and is super busy!!

Federal Gold Medal Match. I haven't started hand loading yet. Robert got a sub 1/4 MOA group from it before he let me leave the shop with it but he had hand loads, a bench rest scope. And a SOLID concrete bench .

Totally agree re handloading if FGMM is getting you that kind of group. See what Robert has to say about it.

Thanks fellas , I appreciate the compliments. If any of you are contemplating a custom build I can't overstate how outstanding Robert is at building rifles. His work is as good as it gets.
