Sub MOA my Rem. 700 - .300 Win. Mag. -- 5lb Rifle????
h2ofowlr:
I was looking at sending in my Remington 700 action in the .300 Win. Mag. and having some work done. Anyone know what this may run with the below options? Looking to get down near 5lbs.
Weight 5 lbs. ( May vary depending on caliber and options)
Action Customer supplied Remington 700, then lightened and blueprinted
Bolt Fluted and handle hollowed, lapped and face trued
Barrel Match grade stainless steel Lilja, skip fluted
Muzzlebrake Included stainless Quiet Slimbrake II
Trigger Guard Hinged floorplate, customized with Pear Flat engraving and individually numbered
Bolt Shroud Aluminum hexagon
Metal Finish Black teflon with silver flutes
Stock Hand laminated blend of Kevlar/Graphite and Boron, pillar glass bedded
Pad Rifles' custom

you are gonna need to find a smith that will be ok with chewing on th action. 5lbs on a steel 700 means no stock. you ca run a mc edge, lightened action, pin, chew the bolt and the whippiest barrel out to get to 5lbs. I have had a few 6lb guns and it is pretty light. a rem ti in a mc edge or a kimber montana in an edge is about as light as you can go without digging deep into the penny jar.

Doubt you'll have to really do all that for a sub MOA Gun... With a gun under or around 5 lbs, you're gonna have a TINY scope and short barrel...
If you wouldn't mind something in the 6- 6.5 lb range then I think you're combo looks pretty good...
Just curious on why the weight limitation? With that limitation, I'd just have the action trued, and adjust the trigger and call it good... maybe a lighter scope, but it's pretty hard to get lighter than factory with increased accuracy, and a lot of stock 700's out there shoot sub MOA groups... just my :twocents: and I very well could be wrong...

What would the set up mentioned run approximately? $4k

an average 700 requires work to get reliably under MOA.
I wonder what kind of groups you'd really get shooting the barrel it takes to build a 5lb 300wm.
