Pretty excited right now. Just dropped off my old Remington 700 DPS at the gun smith. Soon it will be a 300 win mag. Here's a parts list so far.
Remington 700 trued and blueprinted.
Bartlein #4 Lt bullet sport finished at 26 inches.
Hawkins precision muzzle brake
Grayboe renagade stock bedded to action
Ptg recoil lug pined to action.
Magpul Magnum bottom metal.
Cerakote ba in tungsten.
Will be sending the bolt off to have tac 8 fluteing done by boltfluteing.com out of Haines Oregon. Guy does a killer job.
Optics for now vortex viper HS 4-16x50, will be changing later.
Now just the wait for it to be done.
Good luck with your new build. I also just sent my smith my 7 Rem mag barelled action to install a new barrel.
Blue printed LA magnum
Brux 28" #5 contour 300 win mag no turn neck throated for 210 bergers I may try the 215s.
Mcmillan A3 ultralight edge technology. I also have a HS precision from a 5R 300 win. I may use if i decide to sell to fund another custom Borden Timberline.
Fluted bolt with Sako extractor.
Jewell trigger
Vortex PST Gen ll 5-25-50 (on order not released yet)
It has been a while since I played with a 30 caliber been shooting 7mm for a while now.
7Rem mag, 280 Rem., 280 Ackley, 284 Shehane
As far as brass goes I plan on using Nosler I have had good results with them minimal brass prep and they hold up well. I have had over 15 firings on them with my 7 Rem mag pushing a 180 Berger 3025 FPS and 280 Ackley. 180 Berger 2850 Fps. pricey but they hold up well and are consistent.
I hope it shoots well when it was a 7 Rem it was lights out. it was a (Benchmark barrel) I am sure it will the smith is out of Texas and is from the benchrest world. But you never know if you get a bad barrel been there before but the barrel company stood behind it and made it right.
You did good choosing a Bartlein top notch barrel good luck again.
