Is that a fluted bolt in it? From the picture it looks like maybe it is.

Out of curiosity where did that come from?

Will, yes the bolt is fluted. 308nate (straight shot gunsmithing) did the fluting on the bolt and built the gun. Joel made the stock. Nate has fluted all four of the builds, and they have turned out excellent. I do believe it is around $65 for push feed bolts.

Congratulations Nathan!

Not only can you build a fine rifle, you can shoot it too...

Well Done Sir.

Fine rig driven by a fine fella
hey Nate , just wondering if you charge any extra to shoot a gun in a match prior to deliverly ??
I may have to send you my stock

My reciever should be to you today or Monday , I hope unless UPS missplaces it

hey james, I was wondering if it is going to cost me extra because it is proven to be a shooter. The best part is all the hard work is already done developing a load.

Yea the load development does help out alot , I'm having Nate build me a new 308 thats gonna see use both in some f-class comps and as a police sniper weapon so I'm hoping that it'll shoot realy well with either 175gr Federal Premium Match or Black Hills Match.
Either way I'll probably end up shooting some Bergers in F-class.

james, a friend who introduced me to custom guns and nate had a 308 palma built the same time I had my 7wsm built. It is unreal, we went out at 400yds. and shot at shotgun shell hulls. Needless to say we were hitting them. He is quite confident with a 308 much like yourself(I am assuming) I think after this 6X47 repeater is done nate will have to build me a 308. What do you think of the new pheonix actions?
