A close up of the Freedom Green finish...

Another look... 20" Heavy Barrel, Harris bi-pod, Bushnell Elite Tactical scope (2.5-16X42), Badger tac knob.

Yum!
But how do you get cartridges into that magazine? Tucking them under the scope mount must be fun, when you're trying to reload quickly.

There's actually plenty of room... I load from the side, not the top. Haven't had any issues loading fast, even during stress drills at my last school.

Hey, I liked the color of your gun. Looking spectacular!

Thanks, its a B&C Medalist stock... the pattern is discontinued so I was fortunate that Mel Ewing was able to find one.

Here's the case I got for Xmas for her... I did the foam cutting myself and applied Plasti-Dip on foam for xtra durability.

does that stock not allow for a removable magazine?

Does he have a website or some contact information? I am in desperate need of someone to refer bolt gun work to. I have request all the time and we just simply don't have the time to work on bolt guns anymore.

This stock does NOT accept a detachable box mag... although he sells a B&C stock that does (for an additional fee).

Mel normally takes 2-3 months to finish his rifles... currently his wait is now like 6-8 months. He dosen't normally do gunsmith work on existing rifles as he is swamped building them and test firing them.

His website is snipercentral.com

thanks for the info. I was hoping for someone who would take on re-barrels of competition rifles for long range guys.

I get request all the time. I guess I am going to have to beat my brother back into it. He used to but then he joined the Army and so he hasn't been able to for a few years. I had been referring people to a place in IL but they closed down after the government changed some laws they didn't want to deal with. Now I have not shop to refer to.

I have a 700, it is not anywere as sweet as yours. I don't have a removable mag in it so it totally would not bother me at all to not have one. I love that stock. It is way nicer than my old wood one. I don't have any complaints about how mine shoots though. It is a good shooting rifle.
