Here's another one I put together while updating my beloved '06.
This one is going to be named after one of my ex-wives. There were moments of absolute happiness but mostly it was a real pain in my avocados to put together.
-It's made from Stevens 200 action (dated 2006, found in pawn shop for 200 bucks & needed love)
-24" magnum contour Shaw barrel
-Vortex Viper (as usual)
-PT&G bottom metal w/ Accurate mags - A word about PT&G: After what I went thru buying that bottom metal, I wouldn't buy so much as a nut & bolt from them EVER again. I'll stop here. I need to refill my blood pressure pills.
-Boyd's Classic in what was supposed to be Pepper but looks more of a greyish color. I think I like it better than the original Pepper color.
-Another bolt handle from mscott71. Good guy. Does a nice job on them.
-Savage Accu-Trigger
-1" muzzle break from Nate in Idaho. Nice & loud. Recoils about the same as my '06. Sort of.
-I also pillared & bedded it using threaded lamp tubing and J&B weld.
I haven't had a chance to do any real ammo testing but it sure does launch a 220 Nosler CC with authority. Makes one helluva splash downrange.

All in all, it was a fun project. I still have a little touching up to do but as we all know, building a rifle is a never ending project. I look forward to dialing in some ammo for it.
