New Rifle, New Build

[Jonathan_S]

Yesterday I drove halfway across this state for this gun. One I have been looking for for a few months now. Nothing special, a Remington 700 SPS chambered in 300 WSM but I really look forward to the build. This rifle will see a lot of use and abuse. I will post pictures as the build continues.

Carpsniperg2 really made it easy, Matt is was great to see you. Thanks for hooking me up! I would recommend Split Diamond Tactical to anyone.

A couple really good guys joined me on the adventure, it was good to talk and share some laughs. If either of you two ever need somebody to ride shotgun on a "gun run" let me know.

That's a really nice looking rifle. I like the black synthetic and stainless.

I wish I didn't see this thread... lol.

I've been wanting to purchase a Rem 700 (had one years and years ago) and kept putting it off, now I want one of those, but I'm trying to not spend $$$

Awesome lookin gun! Glad you could put up with me for that long! 
Can't wait to get out and burn some powder!

Now you just need to find brass and ammo for it!

What are you plans for this?

I have been buying that up for a few months haha. I will bed the action, Seekins rail and rings (with loctite) then Viper PST or Nightforce SHV on top

If you have a Cabelas around you, check the bargain cave for a PST. I just bought my second one in about a month from them. Last one was a 6-24x50 FFP MIL/MIL for $675 and today I picked up a 4-16x50 FFP MIL/MIL for $620. I sold the 6-24 for $800 but I may keep the 4-16 to try it out. I think they're factory refurbs and that's why they're so cheap.
