700 Parts Gun Assembled

[guntech]

I had some parts laying around and put them together for myself..

An older 700 action, trued and the bolt bumped, a 24 inch BDL heavy barrel turned lighter and set back an inch and chambered to .243 Win. Glass bedded action and floating barrel, Kwik Klip installed, 2 pound trigger. 3-9 x 33 Leupold in a set of Warne rings. Cerakoted by a friend... Weighs about 7.5 pounds.

Shot at the range today using factory 100 grain Interlock Hornady Custom International ammunition... under .700". Factory Winchester 100 grain shot about .750".

It's a keeper...

Damn Dennis that's exactly what I'm looking for +/- the kwik klip.

Glad it turned out well for you, enjoy!

Very nice Dennis. It's amazing when all the "parts" fall in to place! Almost like you knew what you were doing. Wish I had your talent and abilities.

What cartridge was the barrel chambered for originally, 243 or 6mm? I assume you cut it back an inch for a reason.........What twist does it have? Must be 1-9 to shoot 100s that good......

Now hold on here....there's something wrong....where the hell does a professional gunsmith find the time to build himself a rifle AND completely finish it AND actually get to the range to group it.......unheard of in the annals of history !!!!!!!!! You're an amazing man, Dennis.......
