Which cartridge(s)?
With this much money wrapped up in a build I'd just buy an extra bolt in a magnum bolt face...that's what I did actually. I don't know about bighorn specifically, but most custom actions can be ordered with a second bolt for around $350-400.- davisj3537

Remington 700 5R upgrades. Advice appreciated
You are under the assumption that simply tightening the screws centers the base perfectly every single time. As if there wasn't any wiggle room at all. This is easily seen by example with action screws on most factory rifles. Loosen your action screws and twist the rifle clockwise and tighten...- davisj3537

Remington 700 5R upgrades. Advice appreciated
Sounds like a good combo since the higher rail will give more room for feeding and the low rings will still have the scope close to the barrel. Pretty rifle. Have fun with it man. I'd love to hear any feedback you have on the range finder once you get to use it. I ended up going Sig Kilo 2000...- davisj3537

Remington 700 5R upgrades. Advice appreciated
Good purchases there man. I'm sure you're going to be happy with that scope. One thing I would make sure of before buying a scope base is making sure you want two piece instead of one. A one piece base ensures the rings are aligned. The two piece base will inevitably create an alignment issue...- davisj3537

Pillar Bedding vs Chassis System
Most of the time you won't notice a difference in accuracy between the two. There are chassis styles that limit the flaws of not bedding. Round bedding block<V block<roller bedding<glass bedding. There are tons of bughole shooting rifles in each of those styles. I for one hate second guessing my...- davisj3537

Range-Hunting rifle Bdl or detachable mag
SouthTXBowhunter raises a good point of versatility. Despite having advocated for the BDL previously, I went DBM myself. In addition to Curtis you might look into https://www.stockysstocks.com/h-s-pr...-bdl-only.html It is a direct replacement to the BDL without inletting, doesn't rattle around...- davisj3537

Range-Hunting rifle Bdl or detachable mag
Since everyone listed pros for DBM I figured I'd list some for BDL. BDL is cheaper, lighter and should allow you to load longer. For a range/hunting rifle DBM makes a lot of sense.- davisj3537

Remington 700 5R upgrades. Advice appreciated
Karsten cheek rest if you want to keep the stock you've got. They work great. If you spent an hour bedding the stock you've got then the chassis is a small accuracy downgrade anyway. If you want the adjustability or shape of a chassis then that's a different story. Nice choice on the scope, but...- davisj3537
