This is a Trued Rem 700 barreled with a Krieger heavy palma 308 1-11.25" finished off at 26" with heavy crown. I cut down the bolt handle and installed a Badger Bolt knob. The AICS says it all. I duracoated the rifle HK Black and installed a Badger 20 MOA rail.

This last rifle is a great little walk around Varmint rifle. Its a Remington 700 that has been blueprinted. It sports a Shilen Select Match #4 chambered in .222 Rem finished off at 24" with a 1-9" twist. Its skim bedded with Marine Tex in a HS Precision stock and has a Shilen trigger insatalled. The barreled action has been Cerakoted Sniper Grey and the scope rings have been lapped and the rear base had to be bedded.

Re: New rifle #3 and #4

Yeah, I was thinking about making it a .223 Rem. But then I figured everybody has enough of those. I have always loved the .222 Rem and it was my first "high powered rifle" An older 722 in .222. It was an awesome varmint gun, so I figured I would give it a rest and build another. I'm still doing load development, but the Shilen barrel seems GTG!
