Kudos to Buds for another outstanding service. The rifle arrived in good condition and cosmetically perfect. Got the rifle home and mounted a Vortex HS-T 6x24-50 scope on it. The only negative I could find is the trigger. The infamous Mark X trigger seems to be either good or bad out of the box. I did not get a good one, so I ordered a Timney 510 trigger for it. I never liked the Mark X trigger-its skinny and smooth, and much prefer the Timney which reminds me of the older Walker triggers, wide and serrated, and easily adjusted down to a light consistent pull, something the Mark X would not. I really like the Bell&Carlson M40 stock. Aluminum bedding block makes mounting and dismounting the action a simple operation. Do yourself a favor and get a torque wrench for the action screws as well as the scope ring/base screws. It helps. Found a good handload using Lapua brass, Rederal 210M primers, Nosler 175 grain match bullets and a load of IMR4350, which will now do 1/2 inch at 100 yards for 5 shots. I knocked off one point for the trigger, but overall, I really like this rifle.
