This Rifle has been about two years in the making. I do not have a scope yet, but have decided it will be a USO SN3. I am not sure if it will be the 1.8-10 or 3.2-17, but I can't afford it right now anway so I have a little time to decide.
Below is my previous post about the Manners Stock:

The complete rifle came in today and I must say it is everything I had planned for and more. The rifle has a Bartlein 1-11, 5-R S.S. #14 20" Fluted Barrel. Greg Tannel did all of the work on the FN .308 action which I purchased from CDNN. He rebuilt it Single Point Action and bolt, double sleeved the bolt body, bushed the firing pin hole, chambered, threaded, and crowned the barrel. He cut the chaber with a Lapua .308 reamer with a 0.340 nk with a 0.047fb and polished it.
I kept the stock trigger as I like Win triggers but he polished and set the sears at 2.0 lbs, index fluted the barrel, epoxy bedded the barreled action, cut the extractor, opened the thread tenon to 1.062 x 16 tpi, lapped the lugs, turned the firing pin, and opened the mag well for the CDI bottom metal.
He then threaded the muzzle 5/8 x 24 tpi for suppresor, made and knurled the thread protector, cera coated all of it graphite black, threaded the bolt handle for the Badger knob (he had to build the jig) and epoxy mounted the scope base.
I think after he did all of that he parted the red sea and turned water in to wine, but I might be stretching it there
I am in on the Redding Group buy and am waiting on my Competition dies and case trimmer. I have the Lapua Brass and Berger 155VLD's as well as Varget Powder to start loading for it. I am attaching quite a few pictures which just don't do the rifle justice. It really is a work of art, and I am going to shoot it to death. This is my first custom precision rifle and I must say it is now the nicest rifle I own. Hope you like it.
Greg and Debbie are great people and were very patient with me. I would strongly recommend Greg's work to anyone who is in the market for a build. I have been on this site for a few years now. I don't post much, but I read almost everything. I have listened to everything and developed this rifle based on what I have learned from all of you. Reminds me of the quote " this is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine etc....."
