first of all thank you for your input and suggestions,
from "ultimate bolt action rifle" and "getting a rifle reviewed threads."
i have been working for a while now with benchmark barrels to build good quality rifles to sell on their web site. last week i got a sneek preview of it, it is almost done. one area that will be on their site is rifles for sale.
we hope to build a wide range of rifles from smaller short action rifles all the way up to 408 cheytacs that will be ready to go, without a long wait.
here are some pics of one we just fininshed, i took them in my shop at home so forgive the lighting.
it has not been fired yet so i will post a target later.
i am just not real patient and would like to hear what you think, good or bad, i can take it.
this is lawton 7000 in 308.
we went with M40A1 contour 25" over all length 24" from the recoil lug
the shorter barrels seem to be popular, but with this rifle if a guy wants to reload or shoot match grade ammo it will do well with both, but still have the option to run the velocities up.
it is a 3 groove stainless steel barrel wtih a 1:11 twist.
we added flutes and a muzzle brake threaded 5/8x24 for most .30cal suppessors and it comes with a thread protector.
we went with a jewel 3ounce to 1 pound trigger.
for longer ranges or f class matches a lighter trigger is nice to have.
if a heavier trigger is what you like, having the side bolt release makes swapping triggers a matter of two pins and about 30 seconds.
mcmillan a5 stock no brainer.
we used titanium devcon for the pillars and recoil lug areas and skim coated the rest with marine tex.
the bedding goes about an inch past the chamber to support the extra weight of a suppressor.
We also painted the inleted areas of the stock with the darkest color on the stock because it looks better.
we went with the standard bdl on this one to keep the cost down.
the action and barrel are finished with flat black duracoat.
i think that is everything, so what do you think.
