Looks darn good as usual. What are your impressions of the proof barrel?

 

[mdesign]

Interesting looking set-up you built there...should get the job done just fine.

ThanX Chad, can't wait to give it a whirl
Coyotes will be impressed as well

I thought you were no longer chambering carbon/abs barrels?

 

[bohem]

Chad, what's the rifle itself weigh in at without the L3?

Nice lookin' yote-poker ya got there.

I thought you were no longer chambering carbon/abs barrels?

Were not. This was the last one from some time ago. Just took awhile to get a few of the last remaining parts to finish the gun.

Don't know the weight w/o the wonka vision as I didn't weigh it that way. Rifle already shipped so too late to find out.

Gotcha, thanks. I'm not up to speed on the various offerings for L3's, who makes that?

My last was a lefty Bighorn in 7 Creedmoor that finished 25" in a T4 w/ BlackOps DBM and 9.6lbs w/o scope. Was just curious as to how this compared since it's not terribly dissimilar in configuration, my guess was going to be about 6.8-7 on the nose.

Pretty sure I remember where that action came from, glad you have it complete Geoff. I bet it shoots.

TS Customs out of Miller SD just finished this light weight for me a few months ago.

ThanX petesp, I see no reason why it shouldn't. Good parts - defiance, jewell, manners and a bartlein barrel. Chads manipulation of all the parts. I can't see why it wouldn't shoot.
Unless, of coarse it comes down to my decision to have the barrel coated by 'Earl Scheib' is going to take it from a Low 9 - 1/4 mile to a high 16.
