[QUOTE="WeekendWarrior, post: 2139533, member: 117901"] I went with OD green to make the rifle a bit more camouflaged. All the metal will be bead blasted to give it a dull finish, so nothing will sparkle. Should be an awesome setup. The rear rest is a separate accessory that XLR and Mesa Precision recommend, that is the shop doing my build. The rest comes off the stock.The reason these guys like it is for using a rear bag at the range. The version they sell now looks like this: [URL unfurl="true"]https://xlrindustries.com/collections/buttstocks/products/smoke-carbon-buttstock-bag-rider[/URL] The more I think about it, the more excited Im getting for this rifle. With Mesa Precision's actions and using 24" proof barrels, they are shooting 0.18-0.3moa groups at a 100 yards. I have never owned a rifle capable of this performance, and the thought of having on that also weight 6lbs is really awesome. They have a several loads developed for their 300wms they recommend as well, giving me a starting point for developing my own.
