[QUOTE="avluey, post: 987811, member: 56025"] Picked up my Rem 700 in 7mag from the gunsmith last week after installing a new HS Precision stock and barrel. Had Frerking Custom Works in Nebraska true and blueprint the action, tune and work the trigger, and cerakote the action and barrel. Replaced the Leupold VX-II 3-9x40 with an SWFA 5-20x50 in MRAD with illuminated reticle. Headed to the range in a few minutest o break in the barrel and zero the new scope. Off to Wyoming on Saturday for mule deer and back in October for elk. This rifle is my first venture into anything custom in a rifle. Started reloading a few years ago but deployments and moving have resulted in me not reloading a single round in the last two years. Recently moved into a new house and finally have my reloading bench set up again but probably wont have time to develop anything before the mule deer trip so will find out today/this week whether the rifle like factory Berger 168 VLDs, Barnes 160 TSX, or Winchester 150 PowerMax. Almost pulled the trigger on a couple different 338 WINs from the classifieds this summer but no funds this year with the custom job on the 7mag. [/QUOTE]
