Finally got this put together it's a Stiller Predator action with a 22 twist 22" Pacnor barrel in a McMillan Remington Hunter stock with a Jewel trigger and HS Precision DBM and a Leupold 4.5-14 VX3 scope for now.

So I finally got this to the range, I had a few bugs to work out getting it to feed right the rounds wanted to nose dive pushing them out of the magazine. I switched from 308 mags to 22-250 mags tweaked the feed lips a little and added a Delrin follower thats kinda like a little ramp and now it feeds very smooth.
I loaded up some 200 gr Barnes XPB in new Starline brass with Rem 7 1/2 primers and lilgun starting at 39 and working up to 41grs in 1/2gr increments I'm pretty sure I can still go up a bit more 41 grs was averaging about 2679 fps
