[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 554985, member: 12"] This tactical 6.5x47 was built by Jeff Walker at Walker Custom Rifles using my parts. He has built several guns for guys here.

Comes with 3 sling studs, inletted, clear coated and recoil pad. For an economy custom build this is a great stock. Here is where you save the big $$$$ This one they sent pillared and they fell out. We had to rebed it.

Costs $300 vs good standard bottom metal at no more than $150 or even single shot for LR hunting rifle. You can run a second shot in a single shot as fast as a mag gun and NO ONE here is using mag guns for anything realistically requiring mags other than a couple tactical comp shooters. 20 MOA base $65 TPS rings $60 This gun will shoot with any other custom at any price! Lot of money was saved on the stock! Using a blank, inletting, bedding, studs, recoil pad and any finish can easily run to $1000-1400 depending on stock. BH [/QUOTE]
