Remage build

[704]

So I took a rem 700 long action, trued it today them mounted a Critarion Barrel on it with Savage style barrel nut 6.5x55 26 inch varmint contour
mounted a DNZ scope base, will get it out to the range soon

very easy to do

I like the look of it over a standard Savage.

Stupid question.....Do you install barrel like you would on a savage action? In essence making this an easy switch barreled Rem 700?

 

[submoa]

aldon yes same as the savage.

fmsniper great looking rifle how do you like the game reaper scope mounts and is that a plus moa or flat mount

 

[Bob L.]

I like it, can you tell me the make and model of that stock? I like the sporter look of the stock but with an integraded cheek piece?
Thanks
Bob

Yep exactly the same, very easy, only thing I did extra is lap the lugs and true the action

I like the mount, it's solid, 0 MOA, my Mk4 should cover any MOA needed

1st 2 shots were in the same hole, I moved out to 200 yards and shot a .5 inch group, at 400 yards1 inch group, all this is with factory HSM berger 140 VLDs.

Just curious when you trued the action and you face it off did you indicate off the threads or the bolt raceway. I think I am going to go this route on one of my remingtons.

Is that a standard Criterion savage prefit? If so than the threads are the same on the Rem as the Savage. Which recoil lug did you use?
