Just want to start off by saying I'm new to the site, and glad to be here! I'm currently deployed to Afghanistan (Army), and I'm buying a Remington 700 LTR in .308 as my big project. It's my first bolt-gun, and there's alot of gaps in my knowledge. I'm trying to order a Mcmillan A3-5 while deployed, and I am ordering without actually seeing the rifle. I would call Mcmillan, but I'd like to have all my ducks in a row before I do just to keep things simple So here's my questions:
Inlet: What's the difference between "Full Inlet" and "Custom Drop-in"? The rifle will have a Badger Ordnance M5 DBM Floorplate, Maximized Recoil Lug, and Bolt Knob.
Barrel Contour: The Barrel is the stock LTR. My understanding is that it's just a fluted heavy barrel, but I don't know it's diameter(s?) or what to check on the order form. And I don't know what "Finished Cylinder/Shank Length" means, let alone wht it is. But it's a stock 700 LTR, so if anyone knows, I would greatly appreciate it.
Adjustable Cheekpiece: What's preferable, Clamp Bar or Thumbwheel? And does anyone know if there's a differwece in price?
Thanks in advance for any advice/info yo can give! I appreciate any and all responses!
