I see you bought Shiremans other Tac 30 AW, I just picked one up from him too. Good guy to deal with.

What are you building on yours?

Graphite Black as well.

I think I will do a 6mm creedmoor or a 6-47lapua. I will buy a manners t3 most likely. Either the t3 or a t4. I want the stock to be painted in multicam as well. Not sure about optics yet. I will use the rifle to snipe coyotes and to shoot some long range steel. Oh I think I'm going to try manners block system on this rifle and skip the traditional bedding. Lee

Graphite Black, it can mixed to have a real shine or very matte finish.

Can't help you with the paint but if you like trying new calibers i'd suggest giving the 6mmSLR a try, simply run a 243win case through the full length die, load it and shoot it. No fire-forming necessary before max loads and barrel life is reportedly very good compared to others in its class. I've been getting 3180fps average out of my accuracy load with 105vld's and there's room to go up. Here's a link to some info on the round Super LR

Sorry for derailing your thread I just like the round and want it to gain in popularity
