Thanks 7stw, that is a Patroit Arms Rifle, give Jered or Dave a call and they will get you fixed up. They do some awesome work at Patriot Arms, I love my new stick. The color on the barrel and action is "dark earth tan".

Thanks silvertip I have to agree this is great site and fun place to read some great stories and see some great photos. Thanks for the complements on the rifles. That's another great thing about this site is you have access to some great smiths like Shawn and Kirby. For example the Edge you see behind my Lapua that I gave to my buddy. Shawn built that one for me a couple of years ago and it is a great rifle! The only reason I gave it to my buddy is because he is blind in one eye and I have heard stories of recoil causing detached retinas (rare but possible). I don't want my best friend to take chance with his vision. Shawn's brake works great and with the weight of that rifle the recoil is minor. My buddy loves to long range hunt like all of us here so it just seemed like the thing to do. He had another one of Shawn's Edge's but it has alot more recoil so that is my "new" Edge now. I guess it was more of a trade but believe me, I would not have given/traded that rifle to just anyone after the experience that I had with that rifle in Wyoming last year, but I am sure that Shawn can do it again.
Thanks,
Oneshot
