I am looking to build a 308 rig off the Rem700 platform. I intend to put it into a better stock and then start rolling some ammo.

Basically I am set to get a Stainless Barrel, so I was looking at buying the Rem700 SPS Stainless in 308.

However since I intend to use it for long ranges up to 400-600, I ideally would like to get a heavy barrel in stainless. I am having a hard time finding an off the shelf Rem700 with both Stainless and Heavy Barrell. Is anyone aware of the models that offer this, as I am rolling through their website and there is just so many different models, and the only one I found that said it was a heavy barrel did not come in 308, only the larger mag cartridges.

Any help is appreciated to get me in the right direction. I am trying to avoid picking up an after market barrel to keep costs down. And need the stainless as I will be in the bush.

- = - = - = - = -

And as a follow up to that, is there a supplier who sells actions/barrels only (new) without the stock, or does that not exist up here.
 
I have my 308 5r in the EE new and that would be a good rifle to start with, have not heard anybody complain about that model of gun in the last 3 years Jeff

Jeff - I believe you're missing your selling price in your EE ad. Thought I'd mention it in case potential buyers look at it and don't see it (and not ask you for it).

I saw your post after some advice to pick up an R5 from a PM. But you didn't have any prices so I moved on :/

But ended up picking one up for 1200 shipped from a sponsored dealer. Thanks for everyones help. Milspec R5 on route :)
