You know, not to try to take anything away from Accuracy International AT ALL, but I have never been much of a fan. When I was working on my Masters, one of the guys I did a bunch of carpentry for had one in 308. He had a SB scope on it and it was THE shit. It did shoot great and he had good DOPE but it felt weird. I fired it about 100 times and never really liked it. I don't have a clue what model it was but new circa 2007ish.
This action deserves something like this:
Tiger Mertyl and ARC. Tough combo to beat. (Buttplate assy and rings are still in the oven) Enjoy.

I like
THIS, too.
And I've been in that shop. It was clean and was in good order. The faces were friendly and they took care of my problem like it was a priority. I think I'll spring for something real special but also something that I will shoot. But be a little exotic in the caliber choice, too.
I've never been one to have a safe queen.
