Just finished assembling a rifle for a buddy. He had me tell him the parts to order. Chambered in 22 Creedmoor.
Coup de Grace action,
Preferred Barrels 26” carbon fiber barrel with nickel for contrast,
Stocky’s VG2,
Trigger Tech Special flat,
Greyboe M5 bottom metal,
Area 419 rail
I had to trim a spot in the stock for the back of the trigger hanger. Just about 1/8 back and 3/16 down. And, had to open up a spot for the bolt release on the side of the stock. I just opened it for 1/16 clearance when pressed to open.
Also, because he runs AICS magazines, the mag latch was a hair too long. I put a washer underneath the rear of the bottom metal to push the mag latch down. It perfectly fixed the issue. The washer was a press fit and filled the space on the stock for full contact.
I have run a washer in another rifle without problem affecting precision. We’ll run it for a while before trimming the mag catch.
I like everything about the rifle. The action is a little heavy for back country. It’s very cool though. I like the pivoting handle. I may pick up the lite version.
