Decided to do some work on my prairie dog gun for this years trip. Its a 700VSSFII. Gun shot pretty well, but I personally have around 600 rounds through it, and I bought it used, so its probably got between 1k-1.5k through it.
I tore it apart, trued up the action and bolt face, lapped the lugs. Just did a clean up on the receiver threads since Im using the factory barrel. Also drilled it for a PTG .300 tapered recoil lug. Ordered a 22-250 match reamer from PTG.
My question, since Ive never set a barrel back before, is how far do you usually go?
