Great advice Punisher.
I'm a tinkerer too. I'm also afraid that this will not be the last of customs as the bug has bit pretty hard...
The four other "tactical" rifles I own are B&C and I may try sending one off for in letting by Badger to give them a try.
Thanks again.
Thanks Pusher!
I'll check em out.
By the way, part of what started this obsession was one of the rifles built by Mark at SAC. I have had thoughts of sending him some work via my other rifles and their bolt knobs.
He said turnaround was 2-3 days. I drool over some of the rigs he has...
Yessir, will do.

Thanks!
Thanks Punisher. That is exactly what I was looking for as far as input.
I have four rifles with Wyatt's now, I bought that bottom metal simply for drop in fit. This is my first ground up custom build and I was curious.

I have been reading the forums for awhile now and you all have gotten me addicted to these bolt guns, not that I wasn't before I came here...
My local gunsmith is buuilding me my first custom .308. The components are:
Trued R700
Badger knob
Bartlein barrel with very large contour...
