Very nice looking rifle, HomeBuilt. Really like the looks of the stock. Is it a Richard's Microfit?

You should be very happy and you did it all by yourself.  Encouraging to the rest of us.

Very nice.  I had done one in .22-250 years ago.  I was not edjimicated enough at the time to get a trigger with integral safety.  I was still using the Jap knob on the back of the bolt for the safety.  What a pain in the arse with the scope being so close. 

You did a nice job.  Let us know how she shoots!
