[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 491497, member: 32525"] Thanks, all, for the replies. This forum is my new second home! I have a similar question posted on two other forums...posted them 2 full days before coming here, and there is still not a single response to my questions on those forums. This site is awesome- thanks for all of the info! I went with the M40 Medalist in Tan w/ Black Webbing from B&C. Should be here next week, although it doesn't really matter since the barrel I ordered won't be here until July 1. Oh well, quality is worth the wait. I have now vastly exceeded what I thought my budget was going to be (once you factor in the smith costs to true and bed the action, headspace and float the barrel, etc.) so I decided to cash in some Bass Pro gift cards that I had lying around and pick up a Nikon Monarch 5-20x44SF with the Nikoplex reticle- it's not what I want (Nightforce), but it'll do for now until I can get better at shooting and save some $$ for a really good optic. Plus, I'm going to get some custom turrets made from Kenton to help make it a little more kick-***. So, to summarize, here's what's going into this 300 win mag build: -Brand new Rem 700 action from an ADL in 7mm mag -26" Krieger #6 Heavy Bull Sporter contour barrel -Bell and Carlson M40 Medalist stock in tan w/ black webbing -Timney trigger w/ safety -Detatchable mag (3 rounds) from a factory 700 PSS -Nikon Monarch 5-20x44SF Nikoplex with Kenton custom turrets -Harris bipod (probably 6-9" pivoting) -Base and rings TBD I can't wait until that barrel gets here so I can take it all to my smith and start having some fun! PS- all of the parts from the donor (7mm mag ADL stock, barrel, xpro trigger w/safety, trigger guard, and internal magazine metal) are useless to me so I need to get rid of them. Some of the online sites seem to be flooded with these things- anyone know the best place to sell them? I'm obviously not looking to recoup much $$, but some would be nice since I do still have to buy some reloading supplies for this new build. [/QUOTE]
