Will do. It will be a few more months unfortunately, but it is a price you pay for custom inletted, hand layed carbon fiber, painted just the way you want it. Stings the pocket book too, but it will be worth it.
Yes I will have the Vortex Razor HD 5x20x50 with the EBR-2B recital and 20 moa turrets.

Yes at 10lbs it will be a bit heavy but not like some others I have. I was really considering the Savage Long Range Hunter. It's almost 9 lbs so I felt 1 lb wasn't much to sacrifice.
The cost difference is huge from the Savage to the SMR but for a fully custom rifle vs a high volume mass produced gun the cost for the SMR is very cheap compared to other customs.

These are some of the custom rifles of mine. the first one is a 6x47 lapua build off a remington action blue printed,abs carbon fiber barrel,manners stock and a primier heritage scope. Gun was built by nathan dagely @ straightshotgunsmithing.com.
The second one is my 300 rum also build off a remington action, mcmillian htg stock, abs carbon fiber barrel, and a leupold mark 4 scope built by nathan also.
The third one is another 6x47 lapua built by nathan built off a phoneix action now known as defiance actions, bartlein barrel,mcmillian stock with adjustable cheek piece and topped with a IOR scope.
The forth one is a semi custom sendero in a 300 win mag. Blue printed action helical fluted bolt, benchmarck barrel with interrupted fluting and a adjsutable carston cheek piece with a huskemaw scope.

You did right by skipping the Savage. As much as I like Savage, there's just no telling what you would have gotten. Could be a lights out sub moa, could be a 1.5"-3" gun. It will be worth it to know exactly what yours will shoot and what its capable of. Nice scope choice, one day I need to upgrade mine to a vortex. I love my vortex binos. Keep us posted on your progress.
MNH, I feel ya on the stock. I've wanted a McM stock for quiet some time. Just haven't been caught up enough to throw the cash at it since I built mine.
I'll have to weigh my rifle. I'm pretty sure its in the 9lb range. I have a #4 countout hart barrel on mine sitting in a laminate stock. Its not a bad carry really.

We are going to be taking two custom rifles to the range this week. One will be for the E-News and one is for the next issue of EHJ. I can't tell you guys what they are yet, but if you are thinking about a custom rifle these articles will be for you.
