While some of my work was not 100 percent, it was a huge learning curve, and I will know way more on the next one. I had a bunch of machining done on the bolt, and swapped out everything I could for lightweight components. Scoped I am under 7 pounds for a 300 SAUM.
Not to highjack a thread or anything but D Eagle, I just bought a barrelled action stainless in 300 SAUM. I’m excited but it has to be on the back burner till spring. But I’ll be buying a wild cat composite stock as well.

I agree with getting a stock from wildcat composites as well, great guy to deal with. As of bottom metal, I don’t know what you should do. What caliber of rifle and what’s the main purpose of the gun?
