[QUOTE="NZVarminter, post: 105016, member: 5028"] Waipity13 So just what sort of mods can you do to the Remm 700 to extend the OAL to 2.95. I had a quick look at the feed ramp last night and cant see that you can move it foward much as the front face is really the metal that the bolt lug transfers its load to. The most you could do would be to steepen up the ramp so it starts at 2.90 ish. But my 243 dosnt really feed that well as it is so if it was any steeper it must put a lot of lateral load on the bullet as it feeds. Kind of defeats the purpose of going to all that trouble with competition seater and making sure there is minimal runout, then have a steep feed ramp that potentially pushed the bullet out if alignment.
