LMAO!! I believe my new rig has just been given its name!! LOL!!
 
Re: New addition to the family.....

Just my humble opinion, but it lacks a certain babypoo yellow to make it almost like Belgian woodland camo. "Shrek" certainly fits.
 
Re: New addition to the family.....

Nice Rig.

Did you apply the OD Dura-Coat? I have a project ready to go to the smith as well. I am thinking of doing the duracoat finish myself.

Here is what I have so far:
Rem 700
Bartlin M40 barrel 26in (.950 dia) 308 cal
Mcm HTG forest Camo
Timmey trigger
IOR 20moa base
IOR Low 30mm rings
Swfa 5-20x50 FFP scope (on order)

My smith that built the gun applied the Dura-Coat.

That's a good looking list of parts. They ought to make a good rig.

Congrats!!!!

Just put of curiosity how long did the build take to complete? </div></div>

Thanks!

It took 4 months from the day that I dropped off the parts.
 
Re: New addition to the family.....

Thanks Mr. LOBO.

Please let us know how it shoots. I have a Rem SPS 243 varminter. I got the 243 on sale for $499 at Scheels in Iowa and a $75 rebate. I will shoot the barrel out first and rebarrel it. The 243 is an awesome round.
