I sent my Remington 700 action to Pac Nor and got it back with a new Super Match barrel in about 6 weeks. 
No fluting or brake though, so it was pretty straight forward. I got the #3 contour.
I think since it was during the 2015 fall hunting seasons, their business was probably a bit slower.
I went from a 270 win to a 280 Ackley. I also got the 1:8 twist, I'm sure you'll be glad you went with that.
I'm sure you're excited!

Sent the action off to Pac-nor Friday, I think they told me 10 weeks.
270wsm, 8 twist 26" Sendero countour fluted no brake, set up to shoot from the mag.
Gonna be a long wait, but hopefully worth the wait

Nah, it'll be here before you know it and you know it's all worth the wait.
Load them with 165/175 Matrix or the 170 Berger and you're golden.
Cheers!

Now I got a figure out what scope to top it off with?
I've always had good luck with the Nikon's but wish that they had a "Real" Zero Stop and a simple MOA reticle?
I'm thinking maybe an SHV or alike. I'm open to suggestions at this point Gonna keep an eye on the Classifieds here as well?
Is a 20mm mount necessary out to 1000???

Dangerous waters you've entered. I started down this path in mid Dec. It all started innocent enough with a Rem 700 action.
Which has turned into a tuned 700 action, spiral fluted bolt, webbed bolt handle with tac knob all by Kampfeld. This led to a custom Krieger barrel, a Holland recoil lug and JP brake, which led the barreled action back to Kampfeld for barrel fluting. A McMillan A-5 and NF NX I just pickup up this weekend.
Be brave!

He does awesome work and has been a pleasure to work with. Being thousands of miles away and different time zones I've been very pleased.
You live around Sandpoint?

Yeah, I live in a little town between Sandpoint and Coeur d'Alene called Athol.
I talked to Karl a month or two ago about doing a custom and he said that he didn't really do much of that anymore since he was so busy doing the fluting.
Sounded like a great guy, probably call him today!

Hahaha been through there many times. I have a small place up stream from there at Thompson Falls MT. We always fly into Spokane from AK so drive through there on the way to T Falls
I got the same from Karl when I asked him to do this current build. Sounds like he stays busy with fluting and custom machine work. I had him flute the bolt, web the handle and install the tac knob on this build. The barreled action should be going back to him next week for fluting. I hope to finally lay my hands on all the iron by end of the month. Wish I could claim airline miles for all the travel these rifle components will have by the time I finally get them in hand.

I got mine back in less than 5 weeks. But I sent mine in the beginning of January.
I ended up going with a .270WSM, 8" twist. 26" #5 barrel. No Brake either. Sent them a Matrix 165 gr seated out to 3.120. Single feed. Unfortunately, I am still waiting on my McMillan stock, so no feed back on this build yet. Hope they hurry up, as I have been looking at triggers, new bipods, and buying lots of bullets that I don't even know will work...........
I thought about doing a single shooter but figured I would see how it shoots from the mag, others have said that there was little to gain. Figured I can always have it re-throated longer.
I'll ask again, how important is a 20moa rail out to 1000yds???
