Finally got my new stick put together. A couple pieces were back ordered but its ready for a range trip tomorrow barring inclement weather. Shown here with the 17" 10 twist Bartlein Barrel installed. I also have a 24" Bartlein 8.7-7.7 gain twist 6.5CM barrel for it as well. Razor Gen 2 4.5-27x in a Spuhr mount. Gen 2 Little Bastard break on both barrels. She isn't a lightweight by any measure, 15lbs 15oz as pictured with spigot mounted Atlas. I'm curious what adjustments to my scope I will need to make when changing  calibers.

Looks awesome! Please be sure to post a range report.

Sweet rifle!

In the event that you have issues, 2-3 layers of teflon tape on the threads of the tensioning screw will help on the bipod.

Sexy

Decent day at the range. Got it sighted in with 4 rounds then fired some 3 and then 5 round groups. Cleaned every 3 rounds for first 2 groups then after each 10 rounds. Barrel definetly likes some fouling in it. Only shot a total of 51 rounds today. It certainlt did not like my 168gr handloads my other custom .308 loves but thats an 11 twist where this is a 10. I plan to work up a 175gr load for this rifle.

Here's the best of what today produced with factory FGMM and me driving. My shooting was eradic as this was my first shooting trip in several months maybe 4

Looks good OP!

While the Teflon tape kind of works a member on Snipers Hide make an adapter that is awesome.  With an ADM mount it is rock solid.  Taking a hammer and punch to my AT made me a bit nervous but it was worth it.  Enough so that I bought a spare one for an AT and one for an AW/AE rifle just o have.

The teflon tape is a trick for the Atlas clones. They tend to loosen up if you try and load the bipod without making modifications to them (teflon tape/replaced spring, etc...).
