[QUOTE="youngtrout, post: 777999, member: 5373"] Well, finally got the call. Chris at benchmark has my barrled action finished up. Built off a stiller action, number 6 barrel, fluted with the muzzle threaded for brake. Chambered in 7saum. I've built a few semi customs, but first fully custom build for me. I've also taken a stab at building my own carbon fiber stocks, don't have the barreled action so pics of the stock will have to do for now, kind of a build in progress! Stock, bipod, and widden v block as it sits is at 2.5lbs. Figure I'll have another 1/2 at most after I finish out the action area. This is the third stock I vacummed up. My first go was more traditonal, (I think) three layers of fiber, filled with foam. This one is 6 layers with 8 in grip action area, stiff enough in my book and no extra weight from foam. No expert by any means, truth be told to do it again. I would have bought a manners,,, and if this one doesn't work out, I'll look for something else, but so far so good. Built my own "form" would have loved a A2 mcmillian or something else to cast from but oh well, don't own one. Anyway, here is the project as it sits, still need to tackle action area, triggerguard, etc, but need the action to move forward, should have a updated pic or 2 in the coming week, trigger is a jewell, sightron 6-24, wyatt mag box rounding it out, stay tuned!
