    Built it and have a baby on the way. Should have held off since I don't need another gun to do load development for.

    Caverns Armory (Zermatt Origin) 308 Action
    Triggertech Primary
    Preferred Barrels 6.5CM Chopped to 16" 1:8T
    Barrel was profiled to clearance the EFR
    Badger EFR was shorted by two picatinny slots to clearance the barrel.
    McMillan A1-3 Adjustable w. Grayboe M5 DBM

    I have a pic rail for the front of you want to drill another hole behind the sling stud.

    Rifle weighs 13lbs with the Mk5 3.6-18. I rattle canned the barrel after it was profiled over the cerakoteand it's a little messy, but is hid by the EFR. Easy to strip off if you want to.

    I put 50 rounds down the barrel, haven't done load dev. Prior owner I bought it from had a few hundred down it first. Seems to shoot really well with 41-42gr H4350 with 140ELDs in both Starline and Hornady brass with loads I had for other rifles (velocity was 2550-2640fps depending on the charge and brass).

    No scope, suppressor, bipod, or mags. $2,000 shipped to you.

    Dropped to $1850 on 10/17.

    Local gunsmith in NH. The barrel was like 1.176" through the EFR. I have found that barrels whip more than you would expect, so I had it turned down to 0.950" for solid clearance.

    Similar to this, although how he ran it at 1.20" is mind boggling.
