Shooters, I just finished up another build this week and wanted to share some pictures.
The rifle started off with a Blueprinted Remington 700 supplied by Short Action Customs. The bolt has a Tactical Bolt Knob conversion and had also been trued, Sako extractor installed and American Precision Arms recoil lug. The barrel is a 1-11.25 Krieger Heavy Palma finished at 22" and threaded 5/8 x 24. I cut a relief on the back of the installed YHM phantom QD suppressor mount so the customer can use a standard 3/4 " wrench that is not shaved to remove the QD mount if necessary.
The barreled action was finished with Sniper Grey by Cerakote, then placed in the AICS. The stress test of the action to stock relationship was checked and the stock was inducing a severe amount of stress on the action, so the AICS was skim bedded and is now stress free.
After the work was done a quick test firing with my hand load for my rifle and 2 different factory loads were tested. The Federal GMM shot the best at around .75" 3 shot group at 300 yards. I wanted to fire the Corbon Performance Match again to see if it would group better, but I did not have the time or extra ammo.
This rifle will be a shooter!
