After having so much fun with my first build, a 6.5x55 with a 26" McGowen tube and Choate stock, I'm ready for build number two. My boss liked mine so much he wants me to build a duplicate except in 308 since he doesn't reload. It'll just be for medium range plinking from 400-800 yards so it doesn't need to be super precise.
Here's my last build for reference:

And here's the starting point for this build, a $215 (including tax) Stevens 200 in 243 win. The difference in this one is that it'll be build on the Stevens and use a Timney trigger instead of the modified accu-trigger on my build. The deciding factor was finding a Stevens for $200 when everyone was wanting $425-450 for a Savage donor gun.

I'll update as I go complete with plenty of pics and a running tally on cost.
Have a great day,
