[QUOTE="SquashMan, post: 1043451, member: 87953"] Mine is a semi custom Remington 722 in .257 Roberts. It was purchased new by my great grandfather and he gave it to my father when he was young. My father had restocked it in a very nice Maple stock (Boy was it heavy) and sweated the front sight off and removed the rear sight. It wore an old Weaver (The "wide" one, not sure the exact name and now that scope is on my brothers .270) 3-9 x 40. When I was getting into coyote hunting my father gave me this gun and suggested putting it into a sporter stock, which was my plan. I got an old factory Remington 700 ADL Short Action stock for free from a guy I worked with (Who was also friends with my father, and actually this guys brother helped my father bed it in the Maple stock that was on it). It was a little beat and the finish wasn't great. My father and I fitted the 722 into the 700 stock with a 700 ADL magazine box as I didn't want to modify the original parts) and then the project took off a little more. I ended up bringing it to Hillbilly Custom Guns in Newport, VT. Nathan (Owner/Gunsmith) pillar and Marine Tex bedded the barreled action to the new stock, fitted a recoil pad, did an awesome trigger job and coated the entire rifle/bolt with Sandstrom 859 Black (Similar to Cerakote). Then I got the rifle back and immediately brought it to my old boss and he steamed out the dents, stripped it and put a really nice finish on the stock. (I think linseed oil and spar urethane but I don't know for sure) Once I got it back from him I topped it with a Leupold VX-R 2-7 and here she is. I have yet to get any blood on her, my only coyote to date was taken with my Tikka T3 7MM-08 while this one was being built. Sure did a number on her. Fitted in the stock before it went out for any other work or stock refinishing. Still has the Weaver on it.
