    A real budget R700 build

    Thanks! I agree gunporn is awesome, but it is nice when you read threads on builds start to finish. As for does the paint wear better? The answer is yes and no. I just like having a solid base coat that doesn't get messed up when you clean or go through the brush. Also does anyone have...

    I normally do a base paint with alumihide then camo with krylon

    Besides using alumihide... If you don't care about paint getting messed up krylon is also cheap and gets the job done. Any one else have any good budget r700? Mine is basically done only things I want to do is dbm and a timney trigger.

    It's the camera fish eye. The other barrel is the original 700adl barrel

    Paint is brownells alumihide which is an epoxy paint. It makes it more resistant to gun cleaners and oils

    Painted the rifle today. Here is how it looks. Almost complete!! <a href="http://s800.photobucket.com/user/Chaseerickson12/media/0D88B125-ADBD-461C-BE0B-846FB6A5B16E_zpsf1lamfp1.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img...

    Here is an update on how she shoots. Second time shooting the rifle. Shoots great. I think I can get it around a half inch with a new trigger. <a href="http://s800.photobucket.com/user/Chaseerickson12/media/146F231F-39AB-4959-A38C-1C8286418613_zpscnlquk4x.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img...

    A real budget R700 build

    It was $600 flat. Lap lugs true receiver, square bolt face, and install. Think that's a fair price and I got it back in 8days. rl17 at 46.8gr behind a 208hpbt, 2.87 col, 2600fps should be perfect for elk with 208amax. Going to zero this week at 100 then out to throw some lead to 1000. I'll post...

    .308 long range hunting loads

    Worked up a load with 208amax on top of 41.5gr of 4064 seated at 2.83... 2476avg. I'm going to single feed and use rl17 and seat at 2.875 and see if I can get around 2550-2600

    Ya it maybe a cool stock, but for me the plastic stock just doesn't give the action and barrel the support for it to shoot at its true accuracy potential. If you upgrade the barrel you should think about the stock as well. That would honestly be my first upgrade with almost all the 700's there...

    So your saying you would rather keep your plastic stock over a H-S precision

    I will have to check the both bases out. Right now I'm working up a load with 208amax used 4064 41.4gr 2.83oal got a 2476fps avg. Do any of you have any experience with this bullet and some different powders that maybe more affective. I want to get my velocity somewhere around 2550-2600

    Here is an update. Working up a load now with 208 hpbt <a href="http://s800.photobucket.com/user/Chaseerickson12/media/C704D612-0F82-4B66-B801-BC22D37A1C5D_zpsuunzisqu.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img...

    .308 long range hunting loads

    Hi so I'm finishing a long range .308 rifle build the barrel is 26in 1-10 twist what load will be good for elk at long range. In the 600-700 yard range. Yes might not be a possible thing but I'm a believer.

    Rifle Scopes NF nxs 3-15 vs SWFA SS 3-15?

    I own an Swfa 10x42 and the glass that you get for the price is amazing. My friend owns a NXS and yes it's amazing and also 5 times the price. Both are good choices for any shooter! Also saying that an swfa ss scope is for a 100-200 rounds a year shooter is ridiculous thing to say I have met...

    What's the best 20moa base for a budget? And is there a kit to make the m24 style rifle stock have an adjustable length of pull like the army m24?

    A real budget R700 build

    Just sent the barrel off to the gunsmith today. I'll probably have it back in a week or two. It's a green mountain barrel I double checked. I wouldn't give the GM barrel that much crap I mean it's not a hart barrel or any other $350-400 barrels but it I have still had great performance from it...

    A real budget R700 build

    Thanks for all of the info guys. I am very limited to what cartragies I can use. .308 with a 26in barrel will give me what I'm looking for. To clarify what I want is a rifle that can take an elk out at 700yards max! I'm not saying that I have the skill to take a shot that far, but I would like...
