So I thought I might share this with you guys. This is my first build of any rifle so any feedback would be appreciated. My intent here is to build a rifle that is capable of long range shooting and has a tactical look. I may also have the chance to use this as a duty weapon, if they ever send me to school!
This all started with an exceptional buy that I found on another forum for a 308 factory heavy barrel. I'm not gonna say the site or the cost of the barrel, but from what I've seen it was a good deal. The round count was low and everything appears to be accurate with what he told me when I got it and inspected it. So I then had to set out for an action. Well I found a short action centerfeed with a Ken Farrel base that I picked up $335tyd. So at this point, I'm still under $400 and basically have a barreled action with a good 20moa base.

I have since got a Forster go-gauge to install the barrel with. I just ordered a new recoil lug and bolt handle from Stockade. I've got a Choate tactical stock that I found used and already inletted for a CDI BDM. I ordered a CDI BDM today and an AICS 5rd mag.
