+1 on that bro... wish mine we're on it's way.

Nice looker, why such a heavy choice of bipod?

i guess im not sure if its what im going to use, but ive used everything else and i wanted to mix it up a little on this rifle.
 
Re: remington 700 work in progress

not to steal OP's thunder, but on XLR's website, there is a photo I believe it is either the Robar or Lawton with the bipod where the legs attach to the sides of the handguard. Do any of you folks know the manufacturer/name of this bipod? I think it looks particularly sick. BTW- I'm packing shit and headed to Salt Lake... I keed, I keed!
 
Re: remington 700 work in progress

Haven't seen the pics you speak of but my guess from your descripion would be the newer style Tangodown bipod.
 
Re: remington 700 work in progress

jplemieux, do you know if the buttstock you have is made for AR platforms also? Cool if it was.

Badass gun you've got going.

I completely agree with you on the bipod. I spoke kyle about the one on the sight and he told me that lraccuracy makes them. there website is under construction lraccuracy.com. they are going to sell a smaller version on the xlr website for around $400. but you can always call kyle at xlr and im sure he can give you more details

Surgeon Sniper bolt knob
 
Re: remington 700 work in progress

You can install that on your bolt rather than threading it for a bolt knob. Is it something you can do without much tools?
 
Re: remington 700 work in progress

Ive done 20 plus bolt knob conversions and its actually really simple. I grind the old knob down and thread it. the first 10 or so times i ground the old knob down and Marine-Tex the new one in. Its a simple as that. All you need is a cheapo bench grinder. Just remember to take your time and fit test it until its perfect. We all spend a lot of time and money on these rifles. Id hate to have something as minor as a rush job on the bolt knob to ruin it.
 
Re: remington 700 work in progress

Nice job, it looks great. Did you use Krylon for the paint? I am selling myself on this chasis.
