[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 587541, member: 23486"] Morning Kelly, Why the 2pc rings & bases (i understand Talley is 1pc), not having used that setup before I'm intrigues as I do see it from time to time. Although I must say it isn't super popular. As I'm sure you're aware, most LRH rigs run a picatinny rail & god knows what, for rings. I can see a (very) small weight advantage for sure, but is it enough? I'm sure they would still have to be lapped...:rolleyes: Just curious as all & figures you of all people could provide a usefull answer:D Boss, you are dead on with your answer so I won't repeat. My last build (6-284) wears an McMillan A-5. After my 'smith did the 3d computer generated CAD layout (for lack of a better term) of my barreled action, did the CNC milling of the stock to EXACTLY match my rig; plus the cost of the stock, Pillars, bedding & paint I was north of 1k just for the stock. The amount of quality produced by a highly skilled smith & the 6digits of equipment is WAY above that of my first few builds.
