Well I guess I'll be the first!

My builds is as follows:

Zastava action with set triggers standard bolt face, purchased from Wild Alaska.
Blue print and barrel install done by HTC rifles here in Colorado Springs.
26" Lilja #5 contour barrel chambered in .25-06 Rem.
KG Gunkote semi-gloss black finish of barreled action.
Original stock was a Richard's Microfit exhibition grade from the closeouts/seconds list. It broke in two through the recoil lug before I fired a shot.
Second stock is a take-off of a Whitworth Mauser that was given to me on another forum. I did the refinish work myself.
Recoil pad installed by Kevin Weaver of Weaver Rifles, Peyton Colorado.
Leupold standard base and low rings.
Bushnell Elite 4200 4-16X40 AO scope duplex reticle.

Just home from the gunsmith!



Restocked and ready for load development, Leupold VX-II 4-12X40AO fine duplex reticle.



Here is the rifle as she sits today. (some of the pics were taken before I installed the Leupold base and rings)









The only thing I'd do different is not to coat the extractor or bolt body. While Gunkote is tough it is rubbing off the extractor with the metal to metal contact. I should have had it jeweled instead. So far I've taken a pronghorn doe, coyote, and buck mule deer with this rifle.
