I'm sorry to hear that. Best of luck with everything.
I looked at the new Remmy M-24 and the Police special the other day,,, both are pretty close in some ways.
My building plan can change according to my needs in the clone idea.
I like plinking long range, but I also like the idea of packablity for hunting,,, so a mid weight barrel mounted in a Carbon fiber Vartec stock.
Lucky thing that 2 of my Remmy's are chambered in the right cartrage,,, that will save me a pile of funds since my cabinets are full of brass,,, primers,,, and bullets.
Ye Ha,,, bring on the good times

Having both, I'd say that besides both being Rem700 actions... the 2 a completely different. Action smoothness and tolerances is Awesome in the M24, average on the 700P. Parrel is 26'' vs 24'' and profile is not the same at all. The M24 barrell is HUGE ! Finish on the M24 is a paint on coating vs standard parkerise for the 700P.
I thank you all for the offers to help. I have figured out a way to most likely pay for my bills and keep my rifle. So after spending all morning at the hospital dealing with tests I went to the range with a friend to relax. It's nice having someone that forces you to push yourself.
He keeps saying he's not that great of a shooter but I've been arguing with him on that fact and I think today I've proven it. He brought out his Remington 700 AAC-SD with a Vortex 6-24 PST in 308 and I of course brought out my M40A1. He didn't have any good ammo, just some Federal Power-Shok 150gr... you know, the Blue Box lowest of the low. With it he managed to pull off this 4 shot group (he was so amazed as was I he forgot to shoot his 5th round).
So I had to step up my game and started thinking of all the excuses I could muster. I shot my first round and it was 2 inches high. I immediately though something was going on with my gun since I had been doing random bullseyes before this. I told him I figured I pulled my shot and took a second... and it went through the same hole. I was wondering what was going on when he looked over and asked me, "Is your scope set for 200 yards?". Sure enough I looked and the dial on my MST-100 was still set at "2". Oops! I figured I'd just leave it there and shot my last three rounds and pulled out this 100 yard group.
All in all it was a good day although the sun disappeared soon after we started shooting. We had a lot of fun and I hope we can go out again.
