Yes I did but I had to sell it to pay for my 10yr wedding anniv cruise, so I just rebuilt it on a Remington. I just sold the barreled action and kept the stock and mag sys.

Gotcha. How close was that surgeon to 700 fit in the stock?

Here are some more pics from today out at (R4) (Lawyer Edited, 1st Amendment stomping base) getting to shoot her to 1000yds on steel. Equipment used, PRS tripod/ cradle, Adaptive FDAC card, big dog steel, and my own reloads.
Zeroing at 100yds
Left side of the gun
800yd line, FDAC card was right on at 6-700yds, within .1mil at 800, and .2mils at 1000yds I used the 2650fps card and my muzzle velocity is at 2625fps.
My last shot after hitting the big steel a few times on my little guy 8x 13.5 big dog steel at 800yds
The big steel 12x20 at the end of the day with the 700-1000yd hits on it

USMC spec from CDI Precision, don't think he has anymore in stock but if you get enough people interested in a group buy then I'm sure he will produce them again.

Badger makes a similar clip slotted mount (listed in Badgers catalog) that is not to spec and you can try to call Dan Ross and see if he has any of his mounts that he will sell you but apparently unless you are God he won't sell the clip slotted spec base to you. I bought a mount from him years ago and the only reason he sold it to me was cause I was a HOG and he charged something like $350 for it.

Went out to confirm my loads prior to Reade Range match and shot these groups at 300 yds so she is doing pretty good.
Then I shot this group at 200yds doing up downs with a 5 sec exposure time at Reade Range Match. Don't mind that little guy up there, couldn't tell where I was hitting till I slipped up and pulled a shot.
I am very please with this rifle, she shoots very consistent, Mark did an awesome job!! On to ASC!!

Actually I talked to Jeff and we are in the middle of doing a group buy now on the spec bases. Heres a link:

He said he will do a run of 5 but it would be better for everyone involved if more people were interested.

I think so, we'll have to wait till the moon is right and all is right in the cosmo's, but I think it's possible.lol If I do my part (I always do my very best on a customer's rifle) and you do your part, the rifle will always do it's part, at least that's what Sean says.
