Which school are you attending?

On that action I would do the 300 RUM. Good luck with your project.

The 378 case does not do well on the rem 700 action.

If the barrel is heavy then a bedding block is better than pillars in most cases.A Vortex Razor scope with FFP ( first focul plain) MRAD reticule seems to be a good scope .

If you're going the bedding block route, you got alot of glass to dig/grind out for that Whidden block to go into. Also, kinda' wondering about an extractor for that cartridge. I've seen several 1917/1914s converted, but they use a big Mauser style extractor. Is this a new full time, 2 yr. gunsmithing program you are attending?

You lucky SOAG..(sonovagun). I bet it will be one Badass Rifle.

Gonna be a nice project, but I'd go for the 300 RUM or 300 ackley mag/308 Baer, the 378 case is a bit much on a rem 700, its better with a CEG bolt but I wouldn't do it, sightron, vortex, or nightforce are your best scope options.

was thinking sako extractor this is a pretty new two year program

 

[gunsmithintraining]

after doing some calculating i dont think be enough mat. let after opening up bolt face for 30-378. Base dia. is.582 bolt dia is .692

Even the Lapua rim is awfully big for a Remmy. The RUM case is indeed a better option.

 

[shortgrass]

Go with a M-16 hinge pinned style extractor instead of the Sako. What else ya' gonna' build? Or do they just require one rifle?

 

[gunsmithintraining]

only require one looking at rebarrel of my sendero 7mm stw and a 22-250 on a small ring mauser
