Howdy, my name is JP, from SE Louisiana. I've stalked the forums for a while learning as much as possible, so I figured I should just jump in and join up. I figured I'll show off my stick as a "thank you" for all the awesome advice and reviews that helped fuel the project

Recently bought a rem700 AAC-SD in 7.62 and shortly thereafter ordered an OD adjustable McMillan A5 stock, 20moa Nightforce base, and the 4 and 6 Seekins 30mm rings. the base fit perfect and didn't need to be bedded, which surprised me.
I plan on painting all metal in FDE cerekote and paint the scope OD when funds permit, as well as badger bolt knob installed.

Sitting by her little brother, BCM middy16.
I decided while waiting for 24xffp Vortex PST that I'd toss the Osprey on for a little while. That's the next big purchase, but a DBM would be nice too..

Well, I guess that's all! Thanks for all the help, this site is the bees knees.

Thanks y'all! I'm very glad I did a lot of research, this set up is perfect for me. I've named her Mjolnir, which is Thor's Hammer in Norse mythology.

Really aching to get Vortex asap..

nice stock there

Yeah I really like the A5.
I might bed the base when I bed the rifle in the stock.

After I blow through this barrel I'll replace with a bartlein 5r 1:10, true the action, trigger job etc, and by that time I'll have a bunch of reloaded brass on hand. Deff a step by step process

Thanks man! I did the AR first for Hurricane season haha, then apparently I can't hunt with a .223 (deer) so I decided to put off work on the touring vehicle to build precision rig. I'm gonna hunt with this and do competition down the line after barrel swap/trueing/vortex PST. This was my birthday gift to myself.
