[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1083030, member: 12995"] Since these 783's have that stupid barrel nut (JMO, nobody get ****y)...And it has a seperate recoil lug, like a regular 700... Could you simply thread a regular tennon like for a 700, and NOT use the nut, and convert it to a standard 700 design that holds the lug in place by squeezing the lug between the receiver and barel lug shoulder, just like a regular 700? Seems like doing it my way would be a much stronger design than the way it currently is with the nut. The fewer moving parts on a rifle, the better... If you converted it to no-nut (my design idea), and put it in a nice stock, used the PTG 1-piece bolt, and the PTG bottom metal, I see where it could have the potential for a very nice shooting custom rifle for under $1,500. personally, I can build on a real 700 for less than that, so I'll stick with what works, but I am interested in seeing how these 783's turn out. If I can find one for $199, I just might try my hand at building one my way, and seeing just how nice and accurate it can become, for how little money I can do the build. Could probably build one for under $1,000 using a hand-lapped 26" factory Remington barrel. [/QUOTE]
