New build starting to come together.

[crazymonkey]

Well into my next build and it's starting to come together. It's going to be a 280ai . The stock from Manners just showed yesterday so it was an early Christmas for me. Here's the parts list
Kelby nanook action
Trigger tech diamond
Proof 26 in sendero lite with a 1 : 8.3 twist
Manners lrh
Greyboe bdl bottom metal ( probably going to switch to hawkins bdl ) before its all done.
Even with talking to Manners about the bottom metal it was cut hawkins bdl . I won't know till I take it to the gunsmith.
I do plan to add some blue colors to the stock to break up the pattern .

First test fit of the parts.

Very nice! Do you have a target weight in mind? I've been eyeing the Nanook for possible future builds.
Keep us posted.

I'm hoping to keep it around 9 to 9.5 lbs all done . I didn't weigh the stuff yet but that stock is light . It makes my 7-08 mcmillan stocked gun feel like I'm carrying a sack of concrete.

Kelby is dead on at 6 months lead time. There customer service is absolutely top notch. I sent e-mails asking about time and was surprised that I got a response on a weekend. They make sure to answer all your questions quickly .
