Update!!!
 I got everything completed and back together yesterday. The Encore frame with the trigger job right about 3.5 pounds, the 22-250 barrel on it, and the 300 win mag barrel back with the new Defensive Edge muzzle brake installed. Also had him order me a Tally 1 piece for the 300 barrel and install and boresight my scope since he had it.  The work was done very clean and it looks real good. When I get some pics taken I will post them up.
Thanks for all the input.

Don't need no bloody pics of the damn gun! Need to see dinky little groups of holes in paper at some suppose'd range, and then the next week need to see how many Yotie's you shot!

I finally got my 30.06 back yesterday. Went to the range to test it out and it is touching each shot at 100 yards. Love it. Trigger down to about 3 1/2 pounds, new bedding, recrowned and a few other things. It is dead on. Love it and love SpotonSmithing. Great shop and a couple of really good guys (from the little time I have talked to them).

Need gunsmithing, go to SpotonSmithing. Great prices and great work!!
