Well, putting the pieces together took longer than expected... but I couldn't be happier!
Build specs:
6 digit Remington 700 receiver, bolt, aluminum butplate, and trigger assembly.
Lija 1:10 remington varmint profile barrel
Toki finished period correct Redfield
Redfield "66" rings
Leupold 1 piece base
Remington 700 BDL stock (Ebay find) checkering removed, pillar/glass bedded, and finished with BLO.

I dont believe that there is a sexier looking rifle than the 40.
Below are the 1st 4 shots @ 100
with plane ole 168 gmm. I couldn't wait for my lapua brass to arrive.
