I got the rifle back and she is sweet! I had to work late last night so I didn't get to take any pics but now I need to hurry up and order an appropriate scope base and rings plus figure out what scope I want to use. I think I have an extra Silver Leupold VXIII 3.5-10 and Leupold QR bases and rings so I may end up sticking that on the rifle until I can figure out just waht kind of optic I want on the rifle long term.
The rifle has a nice balance and I didn't measure the final barel length yet but if anything I might have had this rifle built with a little longer barrel then I really wanted. Just the same, Kurt at Kurts Kustom did a fantastic job and the barrel is contoured down to a standard AR-15 HBAR profile and then the barrel is pretty much a straight HBAR profile as near as I could tell just looking. The barrel diameter exactly matches the Gem-Tech Bi-Lock profile and you really have to look hard to see where the barrel stops and the bi-lock begins.
Now I need to get the reloading equipment out and get this little baby spitting bullets. I have a special suprise in store for all of us 300 Whisper / Fireball owners that I will get to work on pretty soon now that I have this new baby to get me into working on the 300 Whisper again... ;)
