I got this thing done and now I'm kicking myself for geting rid of it , but Mr. Eddie Watters is gonna try to get into the 1000yd club this year with it.
here are the specs

Rem model 7 action fully blueprinted with oversized PT&G bolt with Sako extractor , rear screw hole opened up to 1/4x28 screw like the short action Rem 700 , Greg Tannel firing pin assembly and PT&G single shot follower glued in.

Joel Russo A5L stock in Black and Brown , fitted for a better grip right handed , large oversized contured pillers and fully bedded with over 1 pound of Devcon liquid steel , finished with 18 rubbed in coats of Helmsman Spar urethane semi gloss .

I'm certainly gonna build another one but I gotta make sure the folks are taken care of first.
I think I may go a full custom the next go around , I sure like the way the Bat and Nesika actions feel and I'm kinda tired of looking at and working on everybody elses. I've also gotten my paws a on a couple Surgen actions and they are also very nice.
 
Very nice James.

I like the way you shaped the rear tang area, I just may have to copy off you on my next stock.

Good luck to Mr. Watters, and if the deal falls through call me.
