That is a dandy parts list. IS there a reason you use second focal plane scopes. Obviously the NXS is a great scope, just curious. Are you going to pin the recoil lug to the the action?

No specific reason, I do like FFP also, if they offered FFP in the NXS I would probably get it. I just don't see a huge advantage to FFP to switch anything up, plus my 2 other long range rifles have Nightforce on them with the MOAR-T and MOAR reticles, so it is nice to keep things the same.

Yes the recoil lug will be pinned, and so will the rail.

This rig is the real deal, my second shot ever was a hit at one mile with this gun.

And it beat a dedicated compition gun at 1200 yards( even if it was my fault)

What is even more scary is the weight. This gun is very much able to go out and hunt. The recoil with the Steve White brake was amazing light.

Nice build @TaftHunter
