I just got my Stiller TAC30 from Vestal's Custom Rifles. and I couldn't be happier. The specs are Stiller Tac30 action, with a 20 moa base, Pacnor polygonal 5 grove barrel, fluted, and cut to 20", plus muzzle brake, McMillian A3 Edge fill stock, full length bedded with Marinetex, Atlas bipods, Jewel trigger set at 1 1/2#, PTG stealth bottom metal, Alptha 10rd. mag. It is topped with a Bushnell 3.5-21x50 DMR scope with the G2 reticle, set in American Defense quick detach rings, so I can take it off and put my D760 scope on for night time use. It also has an ACI for angle shooting, and an embedded anti cant level in the stock just behind the receiver. The metal was Ceracoated, and Coyote brown, and stock painted Multicam, By Greg Ballard at OnTargetCustoms, and it looks great. Thanks to both of these guys for the awesome work.

Axeltow, It weighs 11.5 pounds with what you see.

Slingshot14 Vestal's Gunsmithing embedded the anti cant level for me. They set it level with the scope rail using a Starrett 98 level. I got to watch them do it. I like it a lot.

Thanks for the complements guys. I'm proud of it, and can't wait to get it broke in and see what it'll do.
 
I cut out the case using a Proxxon 37080 Hot Wire Cutter I bought off of Amazon. I like the cutter, and it does as good a job, as you can feeding the foam through without making to many bobbles.
 
Very nice! What contour did you choose for the barrel? I am having a tough time deciding on a contour for my build.
Let's see an up close picture of the anti cant level.

I went with a Sendero contour, because it gave me more straight length to flute, than say a light palma contour. I'll get a picture in the am and post it of the anti cant.

Thanks for all of the complements. I'm loving it so far, as I've been braking in the barrel today. Greater things are to come.
 
Sweet Setup sir! How's the scope height? Are going to run a cheek piece or stock pack? Look a bit high in the photos but I could be wrong.

Show us some Range Reports!

The scope height is a little high, and I may end up using a stock pack. I didn't want to go with an adjustable cheek piece because of weight. I knew the cheek weld wasn't going to be high enough with my night scope, but it isn't bad with the day scope.

I went with a ADI recon rings so I could quick detach the day scope, and the night scope just replaces it on the scope base.
 
Thanks for all the comments guys. I just got my neck bushing for my dies from Redding today. I am going to try and start my ladder testing this weekend. I'll let everyone know how it shoots just as soon as I get something on paper.
