Finally got some upgrades for my 308

[rubiconscott]

I built this about 2 years ago and I waited way to long to finish it...
It's a Rem 700 AAC-SD .308 with;
-H&S Police M24 stock
-Badger DBM
-Leupold Mark IV M5 FFP 3.5-14x50 scope
-Leupold Mark IV 20 moa base and rings
-Harris 6-9 bipod
-JP enterprises brake
-and about a pound of Krylon cammo paint

I just installed the last few parts to finish off this build...for now!

So I went with;
-Badger mini bolt knob
-All metal pod lock
-Timney Flat trigger
-Aluminum scope flippers

What else should I do to it?

The paint looks real good I think. Could you give some insight on how you did it?

Thanks.

Shoot the barrel out. Shoot it till it won't shoot no more. Then have one of the many good smiths on here true the action and put on a nice match barrel and have it chambered in a 6 or 6.5mm. Learning with a .308 will make it that much better when you get a ballistically superior round later. My .02

I love the look of that paint. that's an amazing camo

I got a sea sponge from the craft store and 6 colors of spray paint.

Base coat is Krylon Khaki.
Sponge on the other colors however you like and clear coat with Krylon Matte Finish...

Thanks for the advise Bruno. I signed up for a 3 day long range "Sniper 1" class next month. I can't wait! We will be shooting 250 rounds out to 1,000 yds in 3 days. I need the trigger time. I get plenty of pistol, AR 15 and shotgun practice at work but I haven't been able to shoot past 100 yards in a while.

+1 on the paint - I like it.

Looks like you have all you need on that stick for now. Like another poster suggested, shoot the crap outta it and then get it trued and new bbl and you're set.

I would also reload, if you don't already. Maximizing your factory chamber with hand loads will really increase your accuracy at long ranges.

Very nice. Several nice 700 AAC SD builds on here to get ideas from.

Sweet camp job. Looking to a summer project on my 308 and may just use your technique to do it. Thanks for posting.

That is the sexiest Krylon job I have ever seen. I usually think they look like crap, but that one is nice.

 

[diderr]

that camo is cool.

Got my AAC SD last October...can't keep yourself from upgrading. You finish one and then you wonder what's next. I like the 6.5 idea.

Nice build, have you shot it yet?
