The Remington 700 trigger guard will not fit, I thought the same. The action is shorter than the 700. The magazine actually goes above the trigger loop. Unless they have made a TG for that rifle that is significantly different than the factory styling, that would include a full redesign.
Since in the next two months I should have a finished production aluminum version of the 600/660 trigger guard ready to sell, I spent a lot of time looking at what is available, and there is not much.

100 yards, 100 grain HSM BTSP. 3-9x40 Redfield scope, 3 shot groups. Shot right next to each other on the same piece of paper. The only issue is I need a 15MOA rail. I was aiming at the orange target, that is how high it shoots. Scope is bottomed out.

I see what you mean on the specifics (i.e. color, studs, what not), but still the Nikon? WTF? I'll be up on the 27th. PM me the details, I'll bring a bottle....something you can Nurse on....
And as far as huntin' Idaho, you know what we're both over there for....
I know what we're both there for, but it doesn't always work out. How bout this, about a month and a half, I'll chew $400.00 worth of Copenhagen... Add a few bottles of Snake River in there? Be ready for good times on the 27th, you gonna bring Skinner with ya? He's more than welcome....
Post by: 257 Wby Mag on May 20, 2009, 05:10:33 PM
So how does your 660 shoot? My 600 .243 is plenty accurate. Would be even better with a better stock and scope. Remington did an amazing job with these. Except the whole trigger guard issue.

Just shot a 1 1/2'' group with it, huntable, but hardly what I like. Shot better with the factory stock. These are 100 grain federal classics, gonna try some 90 grain siroccos in her.

Hey Jud,
Nice stock... Ordered one for Jacob's 338 and I am still waiting. I put a Nikon on the 338 as well.
Right on Jim!! Didn't you get big Jake a RUM? If he can handle it, it'll be a ass kicker. Never forget the first bear I shot with mine!! Never.....grin..
What stock, pattern, etc did you get Jim? Later

I just like bustin Jud's Chops. I've owned one Nikon, and can't say I was happy with it, just not my cup of tea.

Now you can get rid of the XCR stock. Still waiting for the EDGE... should be any day now.
It will be as painful as your adventure of selling yours. I kept an eye on yours... 65 bucks and three months of posting.

He got a RUM... He shot it 11 or 12 times with out any problem while we were siting it in. I ordered an A5 with the plastic cheek piece to make it as light as possible. He wanted a standard green. I tried to talk him into a camo one but it was his decision and it is his gun. It looks like it kicks...
He told me I was too old to shoot it. The shock might stop my old heart... LOL

Sounds like a good kid Jim, good sense of humor anyhow. grin....
Here's a pic I took the other night of it, that swirly blends in pretty good with the terrain around here.

Feels way different than the factory plastic. Need to get it rescoped and to the range.
You guys know of any good smiths that do good bedding work in the Portland area?
Post by: Huntbear on June 03, 2009, 05:44:46 PM
If you own a dremel, you can do the bedding work yourself. Just get some Acragel from any sporting goods store (I think even Walmart carries it). All you have to do is put the barrelled action in the stock, if it will rock back and forth due to a point not bedded right, just remove some material, until it stops rocking and the gun sits level in the stock.
Then, re bed the stock making sure you use lots of release agent on the metal. I have used paste wax with great success.
Let me know if you need any other help, will be glad to help any way possible.
Post by: Mookie on June 03, 2009, 06:55:46 PM
Devcon 10110 for bedding and Kiwi neutral shoe polish as the release agent. I have done two stocks like this in the last two months. It is a much better product than accraglass for a few reasons, and they are why I no longer use it.
If you want to do it yourself take your time and do research. Otherwise a GS will do just fine.

I was unsure about them before, but am sold on it now. With Talley LW it balances about 1/2" in front of the recoil lug (still without scope). Put it on the bipod and it stays true. The factory tupperware would bend and flex all over the place. Could twist it so the barrel would make contact with the stock on each side. This thing doesn't bend and the barrel stays right in the center of the channel. I can pull the barrel down into the stock, but I have to pull pretty hard, compared to easily before. Also slid a dollar down the center and was too easy. Folded it in half, did it again. Folded it yet again and it still slid all the way down, though I could finally feel some resistance.
Haven't had a B&C or HS, but do see what the big deal is about these McM Edges... and I haven't even gone to the range yet. Wasn't sure about getting one, certainly hesitated, was skeptical to the day it came, but I think it actually lives up to the hype. Now the Swirley, have heard many mixed reviews of the finish and such.
Will get some pics up when it is ready to go, and hopefully some good target results.

Me too :chuckle:Tony is the stock a pillar bed or full length bedding block in the Edge?

And in the rear, around the screw area, should that be completely flush with the stock? It sits a little above it. Too much attention to detail or should be fixed?
