Never thought that I would like the "tacticool" look, but it kind of grew on me so I thought that I would try it out. Just got it back from my smith last evening. 25-06, Shilen Select Match grade 26" SS, SSS Competition trigger, SSS bolt handle, Choate Ultimate Varmint stock, Devcon skim coat for bedding. The stock is a staggered feed model that had to be modified to fit the center feed action/magazine. Works great. My smith cleaned up the action a little bit and it is smooth as glass. He did not even charge me for it! I could tell the difference immediately when I pulled the bolt back. I did not ask him to do it, but he said it was not a big deal. I guess he wants return business :) All work preformed by Andrew Quant of Atwell Tactical in Dallas. Super guy and only charges $10.00 for FFL transfers too!

Hope to start working up loads next week. This my feral hog gun. Got a friend with with 400 acres in Oklahoma that needs them thinned out (i.e. GONE). Thought that would be a good place to see how she shoots.

My new Joel Russo A5-L stock should be ready this week, but I still need to get my target action and new barrel for that build. Still up in the air as to what cartridge I want to use :) Thought that I had made my mind up on a 243, but now thinking about a 6BR or even possibly a 22BR. More choices than money :)
