First build - stage 1 competed

[gknittel]

Hello guys,

After a couple of years of research, paperwork and a lot of work I was able to complete the first stage of my first rifle build:

Remington M700 Police .308Win
AICS 1.5 OD Green
USO SN3 3.2-17x58 ERGO, EREK Mil, US#1 M40 Mil, Milscale MPR
Badger Ordnance Max-50 steel rings
US Optics picatinny rail
AI bipod + mags

Next steps will be:
- Trigger replacement (shilen set at 2.5lbs)
- Bolt knob installation (this will be the first upgrade since it's toooo difficult to operate the current bolt knob, it's too close to the scope's eyepiece)
- Barrel replacement (shilen #7hv 23" long stainless steel Select Match Grade)

I also want to thank you for helping me with all the questions I made. Without your help, comments, suggestions and all the info in this forum, this rifle would still be a dream.

The result might look familiar to you but it's unique in my country. Here're the pics:

Soon this one will leave the white blanks and meet the dirt

Nice set up. Give much thoughts about the Bartlein barrel? Just saying...

That looks good. It will perform even better with the additional upgrades you are proposing.

Ahh, and last upgrade, if I ever have the chance to travel to the states, I will arrange a meeting with a gunsmith to true the action. No gunsmith here will do that. Thanks again!!

Very nice, I have a shilen trigger set at 2.5lbs and am very happy with it.
