After much deliberation and gathering of components, my custom .204 is underway. Rick was wonderful to glean information from regarding his reamer design and I had one ground up to those specs. Went with a Terminus Apollo for an action. Benchmark #4 spiral flute with a 1:11 that will finish at 23”. Trigger Tech trigger. Grayboe Eagle in their coyote fur finish. M5 inlet with Grayboe bottom metal so it’ll have an internal box mag with a drop plate.
I’m not sure I will end up on the glass end of things to top it off. Most likely something of the 2-12 or 3-15x44 variety. I’ve amassed a sizeable quantity of Berger, Hornady and Sierra offerings in handloading for my previous .204 so we will see what it ends up preferring. I’m very excited.
New build is finally in progress.

Re: New build is finally in progress.
Sounds like a nice project. Will be looking forward to photos of the rifle when all together and some group and critters shots/photos.
