[QUOTE="Ridgerunner665, post: 1085621, member: 12660"] Since the OP has gotten what he needed from this thread...the hijack shouldn't cause a problem... I didn't answer this clearly the first time...was in a hurry...it took almost 10 months to be built...but it is worth the wait. Nosler only offers the 280 Ackley in one barrel contour...magnum contour...my rifle is an M48 Custom, the only difference between it and a Patriot or a Heritage is the stock... I wanted a synthetic stock but not with the aluminum chassis...I wanted pillars, the Custom has stainless steel pillars installed the way McMillan says they should be installed ( [url]https://www.mcmillanusa.com/pillar-bedding-article-part-iii/[/url] ) ...Nosler does NOT use McMillan stocks...they're pretty tight lipped about who makes the stocks for them, but after handling mine I think I know...not gonna speculate though...if you buy just the Kevlar/Carbon fiber stock from Nosler...its expensive, $890, mine weighs exactly 24 oz. Nothing against any other way of pillar bedding (all methods have their pros and cons)...I'm just explaining the way Nosler does it...with the barreled action removed, you cannot see the pillars from the top, only from the bottom (see the link above for an explanation)... The options available on an M48 Custom are listed below...the stock upgrade isn't clearly stated....see the bottom of the post for that info. [/QUOTE]
