I figured Id share my 3 new project rifles I have been working on. 2 are done and one needs paint.
First is my Light weight 300 WSM
I wanted a light weight rifle that is still capable of reasonably long-range hunting. 2 things most lightweight rifles sacrifice is barrel length and either no or plastic bottom metal. I could have built it lighter but I was able to meet my goal of 7.5lb including the scope and still retain the nicer stainless bottom metal and a 24" barrel plus the brake.
Parts
Savage 16 Lightweight hunter action converted to top bolt release
Manners EH1 carbon fiber stock.
24" McGowan SS barrel that I turned down and wrapped myself
Benchmark titanium muzzle brake
factory stainless DBM
Savage target accutrigger and sear set at 1.5lb
flipflop recoil pad
glades armory bolt handle that I shortened and put a 300 WSM case head in it.
DNZ rings
Vortex Razor HD light weight hunter 3-15X42.
I included a quick video of this rifle being fired. Note the almost no recoil for a 7.5lb 300WSM. this is with 190gr long range accubonds at around 2950FPS.

6MM-223 or 6X45 Stock still needs paint
This was a fun one! I made from parts I had sitting around and cost me very little to build. And it SHOOTS!!
Stevens action cera coated flat black
21" Pacnor SS 8 twist barrel that I got on trade from a member here. It was originally a 6mm Remington but I cut it off and rethreaded/rechambered it and did a carbon wrap.
Stock was originally a Bell and Carlson anchutz 10/22 stock that I glassed in and re inleted. I also permanently bonded the PTG bottom metal to stiffen everything up. It became like a mini-mini chassis
