First build DONE...well mostly

[Anchor Zero Six]

Seems like I have been without a bolt rifle for an eternity. I'm finally back and happy to say I rolled my own this time and I'm more than a little giddy about it!

Specs:
-Rem 700LA trued and parkerized (started life as a 300WM PSS)
-PTG pinned recoil lug
-PTG spiral fluted bolt with Sako extractor and APA knob (parkerized)
-APA LA DBM
-20" Rock 5R MTU fluted 30 cal barrel chambered in 308, threadded with blended thread protector finished in "Parker" colored duracoat
-Timney trigger set at 3.5 lbs (like em heavy)
-McMillan A5 adj cheek rest
-Seekins sling rail thingy

Not done yet I have a 338LM PTG bolt and raising funds for a barrel and better optic and then it will be a switch barrel 308/338

And this thread would be worthless without a pic so here you go

Oh forgot to mention that I put it on a postage scale right after I finished it and it came in at 9 lbs 12 oz without any accessories or optic.

Beautiful looking rifle!

What is the make on your cheek pad? And if I am seeing right, the rear bag is attached to the cheek pad using Velcro or a strap? If so, very cool idea and would like to try one out for myself!

Aside from well built, it just looks....handy.

There is something sturdy looking about a MTU contour chopped off short. It just looks tough! I have a 20-incher in a McMillan Marksman stock that is one of my favorites. Balances nicely with the sniper fill and heavy tube.

Good on you, Anchor.

Nice Build Anchor...
That color scheme looks great.
Has a tough little Pit-bull look about it.
