This is coming together nicely. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the SWFA scope when you get a chance. Seems like the perfect match for a lightweight hunting rifle!

Yes it sounds like it would be ideal for this build. Unfortunately it is still on backorder. I am still waiting on a gasblock and tube. Just ordered some horndady black. That became available. I am probably gonna start my build this weekend. I am gonna have to throw my lilja in the freezer. Frankly i am pleased with how tightly that fit appears it is going to be.

Great choice with the Lilja barrel.
I have 2 of them and 18" is holding 1 MOA with Wolf steel.

Its going to take severe mistakes to NOT end up with a shooter.

Well looks like my build is shootable ! Been spending like crazy. And finding some shootables occasionally. Still have to zero the scope and break in the barrel a little before i get into some load development. Still looking for primers but should have enough to get a load together.
