A few year back I bought a beat up 700 that seen 2 weeks in a wet gun case, I bought it for little or nothing serious pitting, rust you name it. I also had a new up factory barrel,(7mm RUM) from a take off build a while back.
Total in 150 for the gun 125 for the barrel. (approx value to loose if oops)
After reading alot, and ordering some basic gun smithing videos I decided for 300 bucks I could not loose, I was going to give it a shot.
I stripped it down, and went to work, the barrel was a SOB to get off but it came off, I Lapped the new barrel, I hope not too much but i gave it my all, I also pillar glass bedded the whole gun, frigging glue every place my wife just about killed me lol!!!
Was my first attempt to accurize a factory gun, complete.
To the range tomorrow with it as I hope this will be a MOA gun , and my long range hunting rifle,
Hope to shoot 140 accubonds, at 3400 plus FPS but we will see.
