Nice group!! The rifle looks good man. Is the dura coat hard to put on? whats involved? Buying a rifle is one thing, doing the work yourself has a whole other level of pride. Especially when it shoots like that.

Thanks! I was kind of nervous at first, worried something would go wrong but I cracked open a few cold ones and went to town. It was rather fun learning as I went along. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give duracoating a difficulty rating of 3. (1 being easy and 10 hard) The hardest part is the prep work. I was more nervous bedding the action into the stock.
