[QUOTE="DANTEC, post: 23430, member: 685"] for hight power silhouette on REM 700 you can change the shroud for a davidson one in light alloy ( don't forget to lube the thread )or turn the rear of the throud as copy of modification made by Alaskan Gub Work , just need a lathe . cross drill the firing pin cut 3 inch of barrel lenght ,to knock down the ram 23 inch is enought for 308 cal . drill three hole 1/8 in the bolt body ( under face to the magazine ,that help to save a small weight BUT that help to to prevent hot gaz in face if primer piercing )this modification is clone of th ehole you find on Ruger77 bolt . make a saw mill cut ( 1/8 ) in the bolt handle button Flutted the bolt drill three hole ( 1/8 ) in the bolt handle between the bolt body and the bolt end button . use stamped magazine follower ( ADL parts are stamped , BDL are stainless cast ) I think that enought to be far under the weight limit even if you not done all the modification , shortened the barrel of 2 inch first and make a new crown , rework the bolt shroud and reweight , only with that you are under the weight limit if not enought lightened the bolt handle .... enjoy metallic silhouette shooting .
