Took me a couple years to gather the parts and finally have Benchmark put this together for me. I waited 8 months to the day for the McMillan stock.. Anyway, it's finally finished and I cant wait to shoot it.

Stiller Predator action
Timney trigger
Benchmark barrel; KS contour; 24” and finished at .630
McMillan KS stock painted tan with black webbing

Now, that's good looking! I suspect it'll shoot as good as it looks.

Fordie, it looks like you put a lot of thought into everything you purchased, are you going to be doing hand loads for that jewel of a rifle, and what grouping are you hopping to shoot with it at 100 yards?

Great final product, that's a beauty.

Good looking gun !

Thanks for all of the comments.. I'm very happy with the way the rifle turned out and it fun was watching my idea in a hunting rifle come together. I'm still setting up to reload for it, but in the meantime I have some factory stuff to shoot.. I thought the guys up at Benchmark did a great job and their turnaround time was only four months.
