I recently moved up to Klamath Falls, Oregon and I'm gonnna be needing a good gunsmith here before too long. I've got a project in mind and it may not turn out to be very good but i'm gonna do it anyhow.
I have a Remington 700 XCR in the 375 RUM caliber. I want to keep the 700 action, have the bolt trued, the action bedded in a McM A3-5 stock, Jewell trigger, badger M5 bottom metal (hopefully one of their mags will work good with this cartridge), and I'm still researching on the barrel. Definitely want at least a 30" barrel around 1.000" at the crown, with a 1-10 twist for shooting the 350gr SMK. And a good muzzle brake, I currently have an ops inc on a 300 win mag that is a similar set up and it works good, but I'm not set on that particular brake either. Anyone who has done this for someone or has this set up I'd be glad to hear about your results. I'd like to have someone close to Klamath Falls area do the work but I know there are some dang good smiths on here and if you'd be interested in doing this project for me I'd be glad to hear from you. Anyone else with different ideas i'd like to hear about it. Thanks.
