    Timing bolt handle?

    Should be. The low temp silver solder flows at around 430F

    Timing bolt handle?

    Why not just silver solder and a little handheld torch with the little propane/butane bottles? As for the tig, if you have a tight fit between the bolt and the handle you can tack the handle on without a filler once you get it located correctly. After that point you can get it in a good...

    Remington 700

    Bergara is another solid option.

    Remington 700

    For glass get the best you can afford. Don’t just pick a Vortex for the warranty. A lot of manufacturers have the same warranty. There are a ton of excellent budget glass brands out there from companies like Vortex, Athlon, Sig, etc and evening some budget options from Nightforce, Zeiss...

    Remington 700

    Budget rifles have come a LONG way. With that budget I would seriously consider something like the Ruger American or Mossberg Patriot. If you can stretch your budget a little bit then you could also check out the Tikka T3x or you may be able to find a used one in the $500 range. As for...

    Action truing fixture

    You could do it like the Viper fixture in this pic. Depending on the clearances you could possibly stop the slot aft of your bolts

    Action truing fixture

    With some of the other ways I’ve seen it done I think this could definitely do double duty. Hell I’ve seen some chuck it up in a 3 jaw just aft of the handle and go to town. I do like that the bolts are close together so that should impart less stress and deflection on the action.

    What is your budget for just the rifle? What about optics?

    Action truing fixture

    So if you had the appropriate slot milled in this fixture would it be a good setup for bolt face and lug trueing or would you be better off making a different fixture for that?

    Remington 721 build

    I do plan on trying the action and having a Sako or m16 extractor installed.

    Remington 721 build

    This will probably be a while before it comes to fruition but I just picked up a Remington 721 action with a mag and std bolt. I have big game covered with my 300wm so if you were to build something a little smaller than that that would bridge the gap from whitetail and axis on up what would you...
