Looks really good,

I remember a member that went by the name of "spook" that made bolt handles similar to the one you've got.

I sure would like to know more about the barrel. Did Lothar Walther ream, thread, cut and crown? And I can't wait to hear how it shoots.

Dear Sniper, can you tell me how long it took LW to deliver that barrel from the time you ordered it?
Also can you share with us the cost of the barrel. I am thinking of using an LW for my next .243 build.

Thanks
Charlie

gun shot great only issue is my scope is drifting, its an older Shepherd I saw the reticle shift after most every shot, its a dual reticle so you can see the shift between them, i am sending it into shepherd for repair, will try another scope later

agreed all i did was check the receiver for trueness and devc0on steel bed it, then head-space it now its up and running going to the range after work to test it with a good scope, already have a trade offer for a DPMS AR10 LR 24 inch barrel from my co worker

Just curious because I'm thinking of building something similar and most likely with that stock, what does it weigh? With or without the scope.

have not weighed it, not very heavy though stock is light barrel made it front heavy, I gave the rifle to my co worker my Cpatain, as I have enough 308, bolt guns I traded it for a AR10,, I will ask him what it weighs
