Nicely done. With that good looking rig I would venture you will only need one primer when you are hunting. Nice to have spares thought.

That is one sweet set up, blueboard insulation?
That scope is pretty nice, the gun I'm setting up for a guy has the same scope. I compared it to my SII BS at dusk on a sign at the range and the XP5 was like reading off a page, needed my reading glasses with my scope ;D. May be one in my future. The only thing I would like to see improved is the turret clicks, while solid, I would like the clicks to be a little more stiff. Very nice scope. What do you think about the turrets?

Nice rig Dave...........By the way, is the entire action on that rifle a custom Rem. clone? I noticed the spiral fluted bolt with the skeletonized handle.............. I know Pacific Precision Tool and Reamer company makes replacement Rem. bolts in all configurations.

Nice rifle.
Now to take a page from some of the stuff Ed does. Perhaps a piece of leather welding sleeve contact cemented to the inside of the trap door will prevent metal to metal contact and any possible rattles.

Mike, if it did everybody would be filling it in with wood blocks to install 3rd pillars.
Dave, that is a great idea. Sure beats trying to remember which pocket they were in.
