[QUOTE="PGJPJ, post: 1149205, member: 90674"] Had a lot of help from you guys on this build, and specs for my barrel. SO I thought I'd follow up with some pictures. Rem 700 action SAAMI 280 Ackley 24" barrel 11 deg Crown #3 contour 1:8 twist Timney trigger Bell and Carlson stock (freedom green) Leupold VX3 3.5-10 x 40 CDS (keeping the MOA dial though). My goal is RL 26 with 168 grn Berger VLD Hunting (it was throated for those). The 1:8 twist is to keep some flexibility to shoot the 168 grn Barns LRX, as well as the heavier VLD bullets if I ever wanted to. Those bullets are (left to right): 150 grn Nosler ABLR, 168 grn Berger VLD Hunting, and 168 grn Barns LRX. :D Thanks again guys for the help! Still haven't shot it, I need to do the barrel break-in first. I probably won't do any accuracy development until I get once-fired brass to work with. [/QUOTE]
