Barrel will get heated up to see if it shoots decent with some X's at 3100. If it do then it'll go to my 'smith for a .243AI punch andthen off to Ultra Bore Coat. Doug will bake on some OD green Ultra Coat and give the bore a Bore Kote treatment to help fend fouling.
IF the barrel don't shoot then the door's wide open, maybe 7-08, but I've already sourced a 243AI sizer die and a boatload of Lapua brass for FFing. A 20" or 21" Pac Nor in 243AI wouldn't be a bad thing.....
The McMillan came in Realtree AP camo dipped....hate it. Gonna source some Krylon and beautificate it with a GAP pattern....
The Talleys will go with the metal for the same OD Ultra Coat....
The Loopie will go to the custom shop for a set of M1's....
And there ya go...a Model 7ish lefty customin a wicked good deer/varmit chambering............
