The last part of my .257 Roberts AI project is complete!

My very long term .257 Roberts AI Remington 700 project is nearing completion. The last component was completed today, the floorplate engraving. The barreled action is blued, I just need to get it from the bluer once he's back from vacation and I can get it all put together.
To avoid the fine, here's a pic of the freshly engraved floorplate.

Thanks, me too. I've put a ton of thought and effort into this rifle so I can't wait to see how it shoots.
I know this rifle is going to be sweet! I can't wait to see it! :popcorn:

Mine will have a 1-10 twist barrel and I will shoot 115 bergers and 117 grain Sierra Game Kings and Hornaday Interlocks. Mine is on a Yugo Mauser action. I too am going to put a hinged floor plate on the action, but it will be aluminum for a couple reasons. ONe ot save weight and another to save money. Then I will Ceramicote the stainless barrel and bottom metal. The receiver's blue job is so nice I'm leaving it original military. I bought this one from Samco as a barreled action and the metal was pristine. Anyway, I will be interested to see how your's does with your range report.
