I am currently taking a SolidWorks 3D modeling class for school and I have decided to draw the Remington 700 XM3 for my final project. Does anyone have dimensions for the various parts of this rifle (receiver, bolt, barrel, muzzle brake, BM, stock, etc.) that they would be willing to share with me?
 
Re: Remington 700 XM3 Dimensions?

I don't know if this helps but the stock is a McMillan A1-3, Barrel is an 18.5" Hart (Don't know the contour) with a surefire break. Scope is typically a Nightforce 50mm NXS.
 
Re: Remington 700 XM3 Dimensions?

Since this is only for a visual than an actual build, I'd recommend grabcad.com. I've ran across a couple of models on there of 700 footprints. A word to the wise though, I have yet to find an 100% accurate model/drawing online. Most drawings have incorrect dimensions and don't include the proper cam surfaces and whatnot. So tread carefully if you ever desire to build one.


Also, an easy way of mocking in a design is to take images and vectorize & scale them. You can get drawings/models suprising close then tweak from there. I believe there are tutorials on grabcad.com for this as well.

Good luck,
Jason

Thanks for all the info guys. Does anyone have some of these parts like the scope, rings, rail, and stock that they could give me some dimensions from?
 
Re: Remington 700 XM3 Dimensions?

Thanks again for the help. I thought I would post a picture of how it turned out. For not having any of the actual parts in front of me or that many dimensions I'm happy with how it turned out.
