[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 1969019, member: 13732"] Manners will take forever to deliver, they're backed up pretty badly. Ag composites alpine hunter is a great stock and lead times are quick. I've handled a few the gunwerks stocks and they're top notch, but should be for 1k $. I'm not a fan of the mcmillan stocks without adjustable cheeks as the combs all seem too low for me. Another option is JCS composites, I have a few their tactical stock and they weigh 30-32oz ans very closely resember a manners eh1. Has anyone alerted you about lapua bolt face on the Remington 700 action? Not the most ideal situation but it's you're gun, your plan, I just don't want to see anything go wrong and a fella get hurt. The norma is a great case, however body dimensions were designed to function in automatic rifles, so there is a lot of case taper and low shoulder angle, this causes brass growth and needs constant trimming. Improving the case helps. My 30 nosler on a 26" barrel runs within 100-150fps of my 300 norma improved and would work quite well on your Remington action. Not trying to shoot down your idea or steer your away from it, but a lot of gunsmith will not put a lapua bolt face on a 700 bolt due to such a small amount of material left. There's a reason lapua based actions have a bolt diameter larger than the Rem 700. [/QUOTE]
