Way to go Joe! Another great rifle. I agree with the handyness of this rifle. I had something similar done recently by Wilson Combat. A stainless Ruger compact with laminate stock cut to 16" and Decelerator installed and black Armor Tuff over the stainless. In 308 it was to be my pig killer and all around truck rifle. I like the placement of your sling attachments better than the traditional. Whose base and rings, Optic did you use on this build? It looks great.
