So after getting all of the pieces scrapped together to my liking I finally got my 338 Lapua built. I had a 50 BMG but figured if I was going to be paying that much for ammo, I might as well get something a little more accurate and tamable. So I sent a factory M700 MLR 338 Lapua Police to Phoenix Custom Rifles to get redone. Here are the specs:
- Remington 700 M24 style action
- Rock Creek 1:9.4 twist barrel 29" finished, tapered to .900 at muzzle
- SAS Tactical custom muzzle brake designed after the 5 port one RWS makes
- KRG Whiskey 3 Gen 3 fixed long action chassis
- Harris Bipod (might upgrade to an atlas later)
- Phoenix Custom Rifles "Phoenix" bolt knob
- Nightforce 20 MOA base with 8-40 screws (had the raceway opened up)
- Timney trigger set at 1.5#
- Vortex match rings
- Sightron Siii 8-32x50 (may look to upgrade later and get into mil-mil instead of MOA but for now I really like this scope).
- Duracoated matte black by me.
A special shout-out to Keith Johns over as Phoenix Custom Rifles. He is absolutely awesome with his work and his communication is spectacular! He was very patient with me when I would ask a lot of questions and certainly knows his stuff and what he is doing. I would highly recommend them for any custom work; from their bolt knob installation promotion that they run, to a full blown build.
Also SAS Tactical (I found them on Ebay and just order through messages on Facebook now)..This guy has been able to create just about any style brake I can come up with for him. Great guy to work with and makes very very nice and well priced brakes.
Enjoy the couple pictures I put up!
