here is his Remington Model 700 before and after. Top pic it is a 22-250 with a 24 inch barrel and the bottom pic it is now a .308 Winchester with a 20 inch stainless barrel.

here is what the Remington now looks like. He is going to do some graphics on the rifle after he decides what he wants. Right now he just wanted to get pics of it during the transformation.

I hope there will be someone near him with enough first aid knowledge to be able to patch up the cut around his eye, after he shoots it!
 
If it were me, Id swap the stock and loose the weaver mounts

308 is a nice cartridge, and remingtons, well you know ;)
 
Remington 700 .308

After some targets and sighting in the little .308 sure makes quick work of the local cottontails loaded with 45.5 grains of H4895 under a 150 grain Hornady BTSP. :eek: This new take off barrel has about 60 rounds down the tube now and accuracy seems to be improving with each trip out.:)

Its a Ross Thumbhole laminate,I tried to get a regular stock but they were all out. I wanted to get the rifle into a nicer stock and have time to resight it before opening day for deer gets here. :D Thanks again to grouseman for posting pics.:)
