So I finally found out where he was getting the cut rifling barrel from.  Hes getting it from www.cutrifle.com  The barrels are made by a man named Dan Pendersen.  So the barrel has been ordered and the McMillan stock is also on the way.  Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Well we talked to our gunsmith and he is going to put a nice walnut stock on it due to the fact that the McMillan stock he ordered is on a 60-90 day back order.  Once the McMillan stock comes in he said he would swap it out with the walnut stock and use the walnut stock on a rifle my dad is going to have him build.  Hopefully it will be done soon.... this is killing me lol

Blue action and barrel, or stainless in a walnut stock?  I love SS in a wood stock but you don't see that much any more.

So it's finally done!  The pic is a little crappy because my dad who got the rifle yesterday sent it to me via text message, Ill get better ones tomorrow when I actually go home and put my hands on it.

Its got a 24" custom cut rifling barrel made by Dan Pendersen out of Prescott, AZ, Model 70 trigger and action, Gray McMillan hunters edge stock.  The barrel is floated and the action is bedded.  Oh almost forgot, its a 270 WSM!

Pretty excited to get a scope on it and to the range these next couple of days.

The final weight is 6.5 lbs.  Took it out shooting today just to bore sight it with some handloads i put together.  Got it hitting paper at 60 yards this after noon.  For how light it is it doesnt really kick at all.  I loaded 130 grain Barnes TSX's with 62grs. of Reloader 17 pushing it, the average FPS was 3390!  I was a little shocked since Alliant said 62 grains would only get around 3250 with a 130 grain bullet.  Granted i was only shooting at 60 yards but its grouping real nice.  Gonna take it to the actual shooting range this weekend and shoot it with my lead sled.  So far im liking it though.
