[QUOTE="DUSTY NOGGIN, post: 1452673, member: 89550"] thought id post some pictures of a project i been working on , i really like the idea of the aluminum chassis systems for rigidity the only turnoff really is the expense, so i decided i would try and build my own even if it ends up in the scrap trailer, i was not in a hurry at all and had plenty of time to wait for the perfect donor 700 rifle, i finally found one that wasn't listed very well in the classifieds and wasn't receiving very many views because it was a gun lot ( 1 target 22lr pistol one marlin tube feed 22lr & 1 rifle remington 700 ) . The 700 came as a 7mm Remington magnum blued action looks like an older Timney trigger on it , my plan is for a 300 win mag long enough to shoot the heavy bullets -- i took measurements from the inletting from an sendero stock so there may be some unneeded relief cuts in the inletting , but eventually i got the clearances all figured out and the receiver channel ... i picked up an milling machine from the classifieds , which came with an assortment of end mils & fly cutters and stuff , the machine was very used with a lot of backlash . the mill was a cheap way to accomplish my goals , but keep in mind i have never ran a milling machine ever in my life .. started with a couple blocks of 6061 an aics magazine 3.785 length , and ordered a remage barrel 300 win mag 30" stainless match chamber , throated long for the 215& 230s here is where im at so far , [/QUOTE]
