Speak for yourself homie. I have to get custom tailored pants just to walk right.

Stop wearing women's clothes then!

Ok, back to the rifle, then....

While the short barrel may not be for everyone (ok, me) there is no denying the quality of craftsmanship involved!!

That's going to be a slick Tikka Paul, even with the brockel stubby bbl.

Ya but I bet the gun has a great personality.

Added the thread adapter. Wasn't strictly necessary but I think it looks good. It's been permanently attached. Final thread size is 5/8"x24 3A .6" long as standardized.

"Permanently attached", as in the use of Loctite, or do you use another method, @p_ham ?

Red Loctite.

Got the barrel channel fit up.
I'm not leaving the stock as is, the gel coat isn't perfect and it bothers me. Thinking of doing camo with the cf peaking through. Thoughts? I've got another stock that's ready for paint at the same time.
Also, dark gray or black for the metal? I actually kind of dig the 2 tone it is now too.
I feel like I'm getting ready to sell one of my children with this thing. Almost don't want to shoot it.

Some splotchy camo paint in the Manners style on the stock and black bottom metal would be slick as hell. Good looking gun.

The two tone has been growing on me, my last couple have been different shades of gray. Have you messed with any of the “distressed” painting? Then you could have gray blended with some black, it can really pop on a fluted barrel.

Definitely vote for leaving some cf showing with the paint job!

This is gonna be a heck of a gun

Deep Purple for the bolt flutes and stock camo smears. Leave the metal as is.

There is something about being unique, I like your thinking!

I'd go sort Elderberry...a deeper blue/purple than my flutes.

I agree, pops against the stainless
