I'm shooting F/TR (for fun - so far), with an Sportco/Omark action, Neilsen adaptor, '79 Palma stock (but looking at another rifle built by Scott Traill, in a custom wood stock), bedded action, 13" twist medium Palma, I think, S/S barrel - 27 1/2" long from front of adaptor to muzzle, threaded M18 x 1 (before rules changed), with thread protector, older Nighteater 6-24 x 56, 30mm rings, 20MOA Rem 700 LA rail adapted.
This old girl is handicapped by it's owner, reading wind isn't my strong suit at the moment.

Further to my post above.
Got hold of Scott - he's definitely NOT doing general gunsmith work.
His business is now aimed at total system manufacture - looking at his website - action, bolt, stock, hand guard, using bought in barrels, threaded for, and building, his own suppressors.
He recommended Collings & Brady (couple of streets away from me), for what I had in mind.
Ross is a part-time F/TR shooter too (Karori Club), but on line sales and an active hunting community keep him busier than he's got time for shooting.
For those interested in a bit of history - Ross won the Ballinger Belt in '93, with his own TR chassis design - which I'm now the proud owner of. Originally designed for an Omark action - yayyyy!!!!
With a bit of machining of this chassis and a skim bedding job, I've upgraded from a '79 Palma stock (right handed), to something that is much more suitable. If anyone wants a piece of history (stock only), I could be persuaded to part with it. Not greedy, but would like it to go to a caring home. A carton equivalent and postage might 'twist' my arm.
There's a few accessories that I need to acquire, to complete the build, but promised delivery is end of next week. I'm banking on the following week.
As the work only involves the machining and bedding of the TITANIUM ALLOY MONOBLOC stock (yes), plus a few accessories and using my own barrel (Mike Collings fitted barrel to action), action and other swapped hardware, it's well inside the budget I'd planned on spending.
PM me for an indicative price quoted/list of work/accessories purchased - IF you really want to know.
Cheers - getting quite excited by it all.

PS - he has in stock an cast alloy LH chassis blank in the white - machining required, after all the details are fixed. And it was bloody cheap in comparison to some of the units mentioned here.
