      I’m up here about to do a csection. Been at work since 7 am and had a two hour meeting with attorneys mixed in there. I’m not on call and this isn’t even my patient. But I’m here. I have a great life but it took a few extra years of school, a few nights in the library and some long nights here at the hospital to get there.

            Nice safe. I went back up looking at yours appears there is about a 1/4" to play with. 44mm vs 50mm will bring the scope 3mm closer and the mounts are about 2mm in difference. I want it close but not too close I went ahead and ordered lows and meds to play with.

              At least a 1/4. I could measure for you but if you've ordered both you'll be set.

                Thanks. I post a pic when I get the rifle and set up.

                      The 6.5 CM, I almost got another 7mm-08 but the one I have is still a good shooter. I just keep it for a back up rifle.

                              Alright, time for another update!

                              Long actions w/mag bolt face - We received another shipment yesterday! It looks to be just enough to cover the remaining TBH builds. Started dropping those into production this morning.

                              Long actions w/standard bolt face - Finally got an update on those and it looks like they should be here by the end of next week.

                              Short action stocks - Grayboe delivered several of the missing ones on tuesday and the rest are coming.

                              Short actions - Still have not received the latest shipment, but we are still working through what we have at the moment.

                              So mostly positive news for the week. We have had one unexpected issue holding things up this week. The supplier for the pins in our bottom metal ran out of stock. They will be back in stock on 6/30 and shipping out to us at that point. What that means is that the S/A builds currently in production are going through the entire process, but are being held up at the end awaiting this part so we can install the bottom metal. We currently have 14 TBH builds sitting there awaiting this part before we can give you the call. More are being added to that pile daily. The good news is that we have them bedded, fitted and test fired ready to go the second they come in. It's probably going to look like Christmas morning in the picture thread when these pins come in. And I imagine our UPS guy is going to need a bigger truck that day.

                              Thanks,
                              Robert

                                Thanks for the update Robert. Looks like the 300WSM will be one of the last. Build ‘em right, and no hurries!
