I built my first custom on a new manners EH-1 Stock, and i must say, the stock is amazing. It's scary light but brought the right amount of balance/weight to the table i was looking for. Also, I can't say enough about Manners customer service, it is top notch!
Sorry for the pictures, should have turned the flash off....
Anyway, about the rifle:
Barrel and Action work Done by Wick Customs.
6.5CM
Stiller Tac30 Action
Bartlein Barrel from bugholes, Sendero Profile finished @ 22"
Fluted Barrel (8 flutes) with muzzle threads/thread protector
Manners EH-1
Seekins Bottom Metal for AICS Mags
Timney Trigger
Seekins Rings
Cerakoted OD Green
Vortex PST 6-24x50 FFP
The rifle is balanced perfectly without a bi-pod. not sure on weight but I think it's between 8 and 9lbs still need to weight it. I can also hold the rifle to my shoulder using only my left hand, so it's not nose heavy at all (of course this is without bi-pod, i know that will change the balance a bit but, i'm extremely pleased with how it all turned out) Can't wait to hunt with it.

These groups were shot using an hs precision stock my .308 sits in. I think I can tighten them up a bit with the new stock.
41.2gr of H4350 gets me 2607 out of the 22" barrel and the 40.5gr of RL17 get's me 2659 (but RL17 has a much larger ES and SD) where as H4350 only had a 12 or 13 FPS ES.
