Looks awesome!!
Same as my build except I have a cheap Simmons, SSS trigger, and Weaver rings. Thought I'd never see anyone else build a .30-06! Mine shoots under 1/4 MOA with the standard match Shillen. I'd be interested to know if the select match helps.
Our match rifles - the black and silver is my son's .223 in a Boyd's Tacticool and the green and gray is my .308 in a modified Bell & Carlson Tactical Medalist. Both stocks had my DIY raised cheek piece mod.

Nice rifles and awesome photography Ranger! DIY-cheek piece looks better than some factory jobs. I'm interested in your methods?
Im shooting factory ammo now (HSM Trophy Gold 210 Berger VLD) until I can start load development. But im already shooting 1/4 MOA at 200. Will be moving out to 500 next thursday. We'll see how she does. I have the upmost confidence in it. Its more me that im worried about lol
Cool. Mine likes 178 grain Hornady Amax bullets with CCI 200 primers, 57.5 grains of IMR4350, and Lapua brass. I can't recall the seating depth. I don't have alot of components to play with right now and called it quits when I got to 0.235 MOA. I typically load 57 grains instead of 57.5 grains of poweder for hunting/plinking.
Ignore the tranny tear down table in the background, but here is my 11VT in .308, I modded the factory stock to hit my hand and face better with a palm swell and raised the cheek rest some

and here is how it shoots @ 110 yards with the cheap winchester 150gr power points (its favorite factory load that I've tried so far) each block is 1" except the center ones which are 1/4". I shot the 3 shot group , moved my scope down, shot again, moved it over, shot again, called it good.

That looks cool, Plow.
BTW, your work area looks like mine!
And my office isn't usually any better. :)
Thank ya Foxx, it definitely fits me better, and I can finally get a decent cheeck weld. And hey, it may be a mess, but it's my mess, I know where everything is haha. (At least, that's what I tell the wife)

Just messing around with some filters and I liked how this one looked. 11VT in 308 that I had cut to 18" and an AR I put together around the DPMS MK12 barrel (5.56).
Very nice
Thanks, The one in the back is my newest savage build I'll get better pics of it soon.
Here is mine. Not exactly a full custom. Savage 111 300 win mag. Benchmark barrel muzzle brakes and more brake. Nightforce 20 moa base. Killer innovation rings. Weaver 4-20x50 superslam 30mm tube and vortex level. Just got it back from benchmark a few weeks ago http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...c37ff9a0c2.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...40d7c0192c.jpg 200 yd group

Thanks. RBLP allows you to work the bolt and trigger with your right hand, and load and catch empties with your left. Also allows you to see into the action without getting up or disturbing the rifle. And just because it's different. I haven't got to shoot it much yet so I still can't say if I would buy another in that configuration, but so far it's good.
How do you get an action with the port on the left and bolt on the right? Is this custom, or a factory option. I am very much turned on by this.
You call someone, like Jim at Northland Shooters, and say, "hey Jim, got any RBLP target actions on hand?". It's completely factory stock (the action). They're offered in right bolt left port, right bolt right port, and right bolt dual port. Jim's a great guy to deal with btw.
Dual port? Cool. You could feed from the left and have it eject on the right.
Very clean spudia!
I second LoanWolf! Great setup Spudia, can we get some specs? What's the weight of that setup?

And the new girl. I just finished it up, and still have a few things on the list. I want a new barrel (pending how this shoots) and then also needs bedded. Also might try and see what it takes for a 10rd box mag.

It takes me forever to put one of these together spending a little at a time, but this one's to the point where it's pic worthy. Might still opt for a DBM (cha-ching...) and it definitely needs a decent optic (BIG cha-ching...).

Latest version of my Precision Shooting Stick... Everyone kept telling me that the factory tube wouldn't stabilize the Hornady 105 BTHP Match. I am here to tell you, that just ain't so...
She helped a Prairie Dog take a dirt nap at 607 yards on Saturday. I am very pleased with the results of my combination. Running the 2nd node to the average of 2870fps. Me likey!!

Really like that Element Chassis!
How long is that 11VT barrel, again? Seem to recall you had it cut down...?
Thanks Wolf!!
Boiler: The barrel was cut back to 22-1/2" originally for use with the Badger Mini FTE, and then the Ross Schuler brake (as shown), right after I bought it. However, I will be cutting it back further to 18-1/2" for my YHM Suppressor... IF IT WILL EVER GET HERE!! Both Hornady and Hodgdon suggest that I at least try the 105's with the shorter tube, prior to dropping back to the 87 V-Max's that I will be running afterward. Which would help, as I have just over 600 of them loaded at the moment.
Hopefully they will perform as I hope they do...

2870 in a lower node from a 22.5" barrel seems pretty reasonable to me, especially if accuracy was there.
What was the velocity of the higher node?
Also - how's the Element compared to the MCS-T to get behind?
Thanks for humoring my 20 questions....
The lowest node was from 38.5, then opened up a bit before getting to 40.5. I began running the higher grains, and got to 42.1 before I stopped trying. It was on it's way to tightening up again, but I really hate pushing that hard. I don't know what the velocity was at the 42.1 grains, as my buddy shot my chrono. It was easy for me to settle on the 40.5 with how good it was shooting, but it also matches what my wife's .243 really likes. It just makes it easier to not have to remember a bunch of different charges. I also appreciate the definite lack of recoil impulse, as my hamburger shoulder really hates it now.
As far as the Element vs. MCS-T battle goes, it came down to a matter of bedding. I have spent a lot of time and money, and Manners makes an awesome stock!! However, dealing with bedding over and over again, switching back and forth between hunting and target rifles, and not wanting to destroy a stock to change things around, I just decided on the chassis. The Manners, IMHO, is the best overall stock out there as far as a conventional stock goes. I love the ergonomics, and even though the MCS-T is their cheapest stock, it is not lacking at all.
Now enters the time of the Element. I can't say enough good things about this stock. The overall adjustability of the stock is incredible!! I am not an easy fit, but the Element fits me like a glove. Not to mention that XLR Industries is not too far from me. Kyle was a super dude to deal with, and asked me a bunch of questions and outfitted my stock to my particulars. It was also very nice to see how many different chassis for so many different rifle manufacturers... IN STOCK!! Mine was literally ready to go within 10 minutes. I am sure that it really only took that long, due to he is such a good guy to talk about all things guns!! I honestly can't recommend them highly enough!!

OK, here she is as of now... at 18"!! I ran the numbers, and after losing 4-1/2", she is currently running 2750fps. I am borderline on my stability numbers, so I will probably be chasing after that high node after all. So far though, I am really lovin this rifle!! Super easy to shoot, load for, carry, and maneuver around obstacles.

Nice rig Brother!!

I want a rifle on a tripod:(
Thanks for the comments, DK.
By way of explanation for the viewers, the 3 pics above, are of my Savage .308, FLCP-K. I spent the last couple years getting it set up the way I wanted and the most recent change brings her to the "mostly done" stage.
Some of the components I have assembled include the SWFA SS HD, illuminated 5-20x50 scope, SWFA cat tail, Vortex bubble level, TAB Gear sling, Harris bi-pod, Glades Armory extended bolt handle and XLR's Element chassis.
The chassis was Cerakoted in burnt bronze, last week by the 'smith at my LGS.

So it's not a Savage.

Sorry about the small pic.
Here is my Savage 11 223 rem, with Leupold VX1 3-9x40 , Timney trigger,Weaver Rings and mounts. I painted the stock camo. Was going to bed the rifle, but after some test shooting with American Eagle 50gr kph I decided to leave it alone. What do you think.last 4 shot group is in the bull.7/16moahttp://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/...ps14d94b73.jpghttp://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/...psdfabc0d1.jpg
That stock is beautiful.
