Remington 700 build (pics)

I've been working on truing and blueprinting my action the last couple days. All I like is turning and chambering my barrel. Still haven't figured out which stock to go with. This will the first rifle that I've done all the machine work on.

What caliber and which barrel manufacturer are you going to use?

One of a kind! Looks like you installed a badger recoil lug though?

I wired that out of stainless and finish ground it at .300 thick

Nice work-do you do rifle smithing for a living? PH

No, I've been doing machine work going on 20 years now. Just learning the blueprinting/truing of actions and threading, chambering of barrels last couple months.

The practice is over,LOL. I can't do any outside work right know but if everthing works out I might be doing a few at home.

Looks like a beauty and you'll have the pride of having made it yourself. Sounds like you already knew what you were doing with the machine work but had to learn to apply it to a rifle. That's a different look for the bolt shroud and looks like you really did a good smooth job with the round spiral fluting on the bolt. Great looking results.
