Awesome job. I use old pallets on my walls. Super easy. I have a wall similar to yours, and another room with the lower 36" around it in pallet slats.

My buddy has one. Not fancy, a little bit of a fixer upper. $1000.

Smoking deal.

Assuming you are not going to ship this, what part of the state are you located in? 928 area code is N. AZ, but that really doesn't mean anything.

In all honesty, if you want a short, lighter weight rifle, the .300RUM is not tha cartridge for you. I run a 28" barrel on my rifle. I would not want to give up 125+fps to lose 6" of barrel length and maybe 10-12 oz. I built it to reach out and touch something. From a prone or sitting position. If I want to shoot a heavy .308 bullet slower from a lighter gun, I would build a .300WM/.300WSM/.300RSAUM with a lighter taper barrel to carry around. I realize that is not your intent. But you also lose a lot of efficiency by going to a 22" barrel. Powder burn rates come into play and you could probably do better by using a faster powder to match the shorter barrel length. In all reality, the .300RUM was meant to shoot in longer barrels. That is why Remington introduced it with a 26" barrel in the R700.

$175 is a smoking price. Wish I needed it. Should sell very fast.

Rim too? Or just tire?

Dueling tree! Nice.

To be honest, you need to actually go and look through the scopes. I had a hard time finding a scope, even on 3x, that would focus closer than 30 yards. And we all know how close you need a .22 scope to focus sometimes. Think cans, squirrels and cottontails. I ended up spending $300 on a Zeiss Terra 3 3-9x42 for it's lightweight and close focus ability. About 25 yards on 3x. Almost every other 2-8 or 3-9 with no parallax adjustment could come close. And clarity was leaps and bounds better than anything else in the $100-250 price range. Not cheap, but I just put 2 SWFA 3-15x42 SFP w. Gen 2 Mil-Quad reticles on my two 10/22s. I know, I know, overkill/obsessive/optical snobbish. But I really love the 6m minimum focus/parallax on a rimfire scope. I can sharply focus 8' away on 3x, and on 15x, I can focus as close as 20-22 yards. I got them from SWFA (of course) on sale over the Memorial weekend. They come in MOA or two different MIL configurations/reticles. They also have a FFP version, but not in the same price range. I didn't think I needed FFP in a .22 scope though, so I went SFP MIL/MIL. MIL version that I purchased https://swfa.com/catalog/product/view/id/114921/ MOA version https://swfa.com/catalog/product/view/id/121204/ Most people will think I am insane, I agree. My only vice is guns/optics/hunting/fishing/trucks/etc.

Clear coats on and drying.

I realize it was that one branch full of incompetent idiots who cannot comprehend written directions. I am honestly betting they are lefty anti-gun treehugging morons and do not hold UPS responsible. I have actually had very good luck with UPS, and the two delivery drivers that service my house are top notch. Always offer them a drink when I am home and they show up. Changing the title now...

Mine don't feel sticky at all. I have several of my own that I have painted.

This is Coues/pronghorn/muley magic right here.

Per request, smaller sponge patterns in progress.

Sure...make me unbox it!

When I mask a checkered area, I run my fingernail in all of the lines to get a good seal. The top 4 rows are my ammo and reloading stuff, bottom 2 rows are knives, maps, rests, chrome, etc. Plus some of my son-in-law's ammo.

I was working in unit 1 and 3B last week. I bet we saw 500 elk a day mornings and evenings. Saw some bulls that were already 3'+ wide with 3' main beams, and a couple wider that already were sporting 4ths.

When In was looking last year, I wanted a scope that would focus as close as possible on at least 6x. This scope focused the best within 20 yards over about 10 others. Leopold, Vortex, Burris, all in the $200-500 & 2-8/3-9 price/magnification range. The Zeiss was also much clearer to my eyes than any of the other budget 3-9 scopes I looked through.
