[QUOTE="ICANHITHIMMAN, post: 1018236, member: 10414"] OK so I found a riflesmith for my rem 700 MZ build. I sent the rifle to Luke at Arrowhead sporting goods. He installed a 25" Pac-nor, fluted, sendero taper in 45. cal for me. Converted my bolt to the same style used in the Savage ML and installed a Savage breech plug. I went ahead and upgraded my vent liner to the tungsten model he offered, despite the 100$ price tag its one less thing I have to mess with. The turnaround was very fast less than 1 month and the workmanship is top notch. I had to due a serious hack job on the factory ADL stock to make the barrel fit and I must say it turned out pretty well. I have a McMillan I got from 308NATE that I just haven't got around to having the milling done on yet. I took the rifle to the range with some basic load data from doug's message boards and it turned out great. One very nice hole at 100m on the first try. 63g H4198, winchester 209 primers, and a 200g 40, cal SST wrapped in a blue harvester sabot. So here is my first group with the rifle [URL=http://s302.photobucket.com/user/ICANHITHIMMAN/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141114_100646741_zpswk3onoom.jpg.html][IMG]http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn119/ICANHITHIMMAN/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141114_100646741_zpswk3onoom.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Here is my deer, shot was 156M off hand from a tree stand.
