Custom Remington 700

Will be picking this back up from X-Ring Custom Gunsmithing in Butler next week.

Remington 700 Long Action Magnum in 300 Winchester Magnum
Magpul Hunter 700L Stock
Magpul Hunter 700L Magnum trigger guard and magazine well and 5-roound magazine
Remington M.A.R.S. 0 MOA rail system
Lilja barrel (stainless steel, tactical contour, 1:10 twist with 4 grooves) cerakoted to match the receiver and rail system
AAC M18x1.5 Mk13-SD muzzle brake (not pictured)

In addition to reaming a match grade chamber in the barrel blank and threading the end for my muzzle brake; the action was also blueprinted, the receiver threads opened up and the top screws on the receiver opened from 6-48 to 8-40 to accommodate the installation of the M.A.R.S.

Planning on an AAC Mk13-SD suppressor, a Harris bipod with Magpul M-LOK adapter and a Vortex Viper HS LR 6-24x50 scope in the future to finish it. And, of course, some 190gr match grade 300 Winchester Magnum ammunition.

Nice looking rig. How long is the tube on that ? I could use that at the 1250 yard range tomorrow. Can i be your new friend ?

27" after loping off the end of the barrel where Lilja puts their mark. Something to do with the hand laping of the barrel - the last inch isn't "usable," so they mark it with a band saw for being removed when installed.

If I like this enough, I may so similar builds in 308 Winchester and 223 Remington instead of buying Ruger Precision Rifles.

I hope it was just left out but needs a trigger all that coin spent don't forget the one piece you always interface with, either a Jewel or Timney. Take it form experience don't shoot many rounds without the break, and with a rig like that might as well do a tactical bolt knob, you will be happy you did.

I'll look into triggers, but I know the factory Remington trigger was pretty smooth when I was dry firing it. As for the bolt knob, not sure if I can replace just that. And the entire action has been blueprinted, so replacing the bolt and bolt handle at this point would probably be a step backwards.

Factory triggers are pretty good compared to a lot of riffle triggers out there especially any mill spec ar trigger but there is a smoothness and break to a aftermarket that is just better, once you get one, will want to have them in all your riffles. When you send out your bolt to have a knob done you get the same bold back, they just put it in a lath turn down the knob section and thread it, don't change any of the work you had done. Google 700 Threaded bolt knob lots of cool maching videos out there.
