This is my latest build, I bought most of the parts here on LRH off of members who might recognize them. This is my first time having a 30 built as I'm a 7mm fan. The first loads I tried were way too hot and had to drop down

Trued 700 SS action
28.5" McGowan Barrel Sendero contour w/ muzzle brake chambered in 300 Win Mag*
Extra heavy recoil lug
A3 Edge McMillan Stock*
Jewell Trigger
steel 20 MOA rail*
5.5x22x50 Nightforce scope*
* parts picked up here on LRH
Norma Brass*, load is 76gr Retumbo w/ 210 Berger VLD Hunting*

1st pic is the rifle and the second is my first 3 shot group a bit breezy here today

Awesome rig. I love the rem 700 actions for builds. Post more photos of the rifle!
 
as requested, cell phone pics aren't good but... Gunsmith is my friend and fellow shooter, fellow plumber Eddie Harren

another windy day but I think I've found the load, at least until I check it over an Oehler. 2nd three shot group fired from this rifle for a total of 10 rounds fired, wish all my rifles were this easy 125 yds looks to be in the low .3's 210 Berger 75.5gr Retumbo

Sure is a beautiful rifle. Hopefully you have a good supply of components to do a fair amount of shooting with it. Love it!
 
I have a box of 500 210 Bergers and 100 pieces of new Norma Brass and several pounds of powder so shooting for awhile should not be a problem, Here is something I didn't notice right away with the Harrells tactical brake,

The first pic is the top of the brake and the 2nd is the bottom of the brake. I suppose to give a little less muzzle lift and less debris being blown
The difference between the vents on the top vs the bottom is .23". I'm sure this is clear as mud but....

Can you throw out anymore info on the rifle? Twist, bedding etc? What is the price for everything but the scope, shipped?

Thanks
