Moose458, nice looking rifle! You're right, we had about the same idea. It looks like you even did the same Dremel tool cut on the bolt to provide scope clearance.
Is that stock their straight grip (I think that's what I remember it being called) thumbhole stock? I went with the dual grip thumbhole vs. the straight grip for one simple reason. If a deer approaches from my right (I'm right handed), I can't turn around to shoot him right handed. The reason for that is pretty apparent if you look at the picture of me with the deer. The thumbhole is obviously right hand specific. But with the dual grip, I can switch the rifle to my left shoulder and shoot left handed, using the normal grip area. I've taken several deer left-handed using my .270.
And which color laminate is that? The bug has bitten me, and there's a real possibility of me looking for another cheap rifle to restock next summer.
