I don't see a clip anywhere on that gun.
Great looking rig Chuck. Let me know how the variable SWFA works.

That stock conversion looks like it turned out real well. Great looking paint job and even the checkering still looks fresh and sharp. Worked out to be a real nice looking gun. Only thing I would do is get a Black sling, or die this one, to match the rest of the ensemble, the one on there reminds me of guys that wear brown shoes and a blue suit.
Should shoot real well and heavy enough and long enough barrel to make a nice bean field type gun..

Super nice. Like really nice. In terms of fit and finish, that is what a custom gun should look like. I have no problem with the clip. Who ever said they have to be flush.

Nice clean lines ,it "flows" as they say. The mag release design and location is perfect for the intended purpose ,I really like that.
Great job!
When someone mentions a truck gun ,this isn't the usual picture that comes to mind.

Laughing. The truck gun monicker comes from the idea that a DBM makes it a bit more convenient bailing out to chase the odd coyote.
Here are better pictures.

Nice gun. You will like that #3. I put together a somewhat similar build to yours but in 6.5X47. Finished at 8 lbs so our guns are identical weight wise. My Benchmark #3 fluted shoots very good. I'm running 130 AccuBonds at 2900 fps out of this X47. What bullet are you planning to use?

Not sure yet. I’m hoping to get out and try some 123 gr Scenars tomorrow.

If you will be mostly shooting deer, I recommend the 130 Berger Hunting and the 130 AccuBond. I brought both my X47's to Texas this past January and we shot 10 Whitetail and one hog. Both bullets performed excellent!
