So after some debate , I finally decided to start building a few rifles. One is a stand rifle , that will serve as a bench rifle for elr , the other a lightweight hunting rifle .
I picked up a Remington 700 ss dm bdl LA 300 win mag . I installed a mdt oryx chassis , a vortex viper gen 2 pst 5-25x50 ebr 4 optic . I’m ordering a bipod soon but not sure which way to land for versatility in hunting and bench rest .
My plan is to have a zermatt action done , as well as a 29” pre fit shouldered barrel with a fat b@st@rd on the end . I plan to rebarrel to 300 prc , after running the 300wm ammo I have on the shelf . I’m looking to start getting serious about long range shooting , as i find it extremely enjoyable to pull a trigger , and hear “ting “ 2.5+ seconds later
Does anybody have any experience with the above mentioned components ? Any recommendations ?
Im also building my tikka t3x in 6.5CM . I plan to run a mdt hnt26 carbon chassis on this rifle , as well as a Burris eliminator 6 , for being able to range and have the optic do the work for me. In all honesty I feel like the only thing this rifle needs is a good chassis / stock . I’ve put .5 moa groups out with it , in factory form with a vortex viper 4-16x50 hst optic , with federal terminal ascent ammo !
I’m going to include some pictures of my rifles , as well as some reloading stuff a friend of mine has that I can acquire for cents on the dollar , to see if you guys can possibly lead me in the right direction and get started down this long “expensive” path
I can get the presses for 50 bucks a piece , the dies for my current chamber 300 wm for 50 dollars “bnib”
I’m not sure what the primers are worth or Forster case trimmer . Lmk if any of this is worth snagging for a beginner who has no clue on where to begin as far as reloading goes !
I also have a bergara action that I want to send out to be restored to its former glory before our house fire . Or to at least find out if it’s worth restoring .. there is a picture of the action. The rifle still shot sub moa with a warped barrel from the fire believe it or not .
