Questions on my current build. Update! Rifle complete

I have been searching high and low. The big feature I will not budge on is that I want the larger paddle type mag release. Its what I am used to and its just easier for me to push with my thumb and pull my magazine out. The ones I have seen and liked are either out of stock or have small mag releases.
I looked on one of mine but it doesnt have the brand on it. I cant remember what it is... Im no help. Looks like lots moved to the "tactical level PRS style" right now. Im not a fan of them either.

Looks like that is in stock. Badger M5 bottom metal seems to be top choice for the tactical/prs crowd.
If you're looking for a big release tab, the Seekins won't be it. It's inside the trigger guard. I never got used to anything else so it works for me. Same thing. Push it with my right thumb and do my mag change with my left hand.
Mauser. I ordered the bottom metal and stock yesterday. Everything but the trigger should be here by Monday. Friday Im taking the reciever and barrel to my gunsmith. All I lack is a trigger. I have gotten lucky and found pretty much everything in stock that I needed. It shouldnt take too long to finish this rifle and I will do a full update to show it off and thank everyone involved.

I thought I wanted to try a Calvin elite but all signs point to that triggertech
That is exactly the trigger that my trigger tech replaced
I ordered the triggertech this morning. It should be in some time next week. Stock should be in tomorrow followed by bottom metal on Saturday. Taking barrel and reciever to gunsmith tomorrow. I cant believe how quickly this is all coming together

I didnt get the idea to do this build till I bought a Savage rifle from a buddy that turned into a total waste of money. I was disappointed to say the least. I really like Savage rifles. So my first shout out goes to him. Thank you Backstrap Bob.
My next thank you goes to Phil at Sterling Precision. These guys have been great to deal with. They had the reciever the barrel and the stock to me three days after placing my order. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in building a rifle. Huge stock of parts. Ask for Phil. He will get you fixed up.
My next thank you goes to Mauser for finding my bottom metal for me. I really do appreciate the help. And to 338 dude for talking me into the trigger. Its a sweet one.
Last but not least I want to thank my gunsmith Steward Cole. The man is a rifle genius. It doesnt matter what kind of rifle it is. This man knows his stuff and takes the utmost pride in his work.
