Looks great! Game Scout stock?  Yea Benchmark has rep for being a year backlog but worth it.
Stockys VG2 long range carbon fiber.

Great choice on the stock. I've got my eye on one of those for an upcoming project.
they are a killer stock York!  And they aren't 6 months out like Manners and McMillan.

Oh and killer build man!  You will not be disappointed! Barrels are meant to be burned up and replaced so get to shooting!

What does that setup weigh?
9lb 5oz with optics and bipod.
Wow that lone peak really keeps the weight down.   Like that stock too!

My HCA barrel likes Retumbo - was getting es of 4 to 5 in groups this morning as long as jump was over .030.

I had a very similar rifle built.  Started getting pierced primers.  Miss fires.  Checked out the firing pin.  When cocked it goes all the way back into bolt and when fired it catches the firing pin hole on exit.  This caused the firing pin to become filed to a 45 degree angle and cause issues.  Got a bushing installed inside the bolt to hold the firing pin centered and all is well.  Keep an eye on it.

Took a lotta shooting and testing powders, loads and seating depth but ended up back where I started just better loading and shooting technique and now have my HCA carbon shooting  2" groups at 500 yards.   Gotta sort and measure actual distance to lands with those SMK bullets every batch or it will drive you crazy with the big variances even in the same box.

Nice looking setup and an excellent choice on optics.  I don't think you can never go wrong with a NightForce.  Just bought another one couple days ago.

Finally had time to finish stock, Seattle Hydrographing did a great job. And it shoots pretty good too!
