May 29th - The Remington is Done!

May 29^th -  The Remington is Done!

Well Memorial Day has arrived, and with it I FINALLY got the opportunity to take the Remington out to the range!

I spent a lot of time and energy making it shoot straight….and here is the result:

First shot was the top one, from a cold barrel

Not bad ehh???  This group was shot with 5 rounds of 180 grain factory loaded ammo from 100 yards.  For custom ammo this group would be good….with factory ammo it is friggen amazing!

Now we have a firearm that I can sell with confidence.  I knew that it would perform well based on the work that we put into it, but without actually shooting it…well…you just never know.

So…let’s review where we came from: 

This was the Remington 700 when I got it:

Then we broke it apart:

Then we:

1)Polished the raceways

2) laped the lugs

3) improved the trigger and set it to a 2.5 lb pull

4) pillar bedded the receiver

5) Glass bedded the receiver and barrel

6) free floated the barrel

7) attached leupold bases and rings

8) placed the barreled action on a walnut stock

9) finished the walnut stock with a hardened finish

10) installed a recoil pad

11) installed swivel studs

12) Checkered the stock (grip and fore end)

13) Test fired for accuracy.

This is what it looks like now:

Now this gun was built to be sold.  Under normal circumstances I would have one of my dealers simply list this gun for resale.  However a number of my readers have expressed interest in acquiring it once it was finished.

…so….for the next week I will be keeping this gun “off the market” and allow my readers first crack at it.  If you are interested in purchasing this rifle send me an email at slieberman03@gmail.com or you can contact me at 949 – 939-8921. 

Thanks again for following along!
