[factionrr]

Just excited to take my new toy out tomorrow and run some rounds. This is my first bolt gun that didn't just come straight off the shelf. A few specs and upgrades to the rifle include,

-Remington 700 5R Milspec .308
-McGowen Custom Super Match - 1/10 twist - .900 at the muzzle
-AICS 2.0 Folder upgraded with Viper Skins and V2 rear stock
-Jewel Trigger
-ATRS 20MOA Rail
-Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 MOAR with Zero Stop ceracoated in FDE
-Nightforce Ultralight Rings
-Harris Swivel Bipod(for now) Still waiting on my AICS bipod and Monopod

Cant wait to get this thing out tomorrow and see what she can do

It looks amazing. How much did it run you, if you don't mind me asking?

Nice build, hopefully she will shoot as good as she looks.

Mate...Is this my next one? I hope so, nice unit!

LOL Everyday since this has been completed I think of PM'ing you and begging for that .300 back

She certainly has been missed. 5R .300 win mag gone to a good home.

Nice rifle! Heck of a way to get started into bolt guns. Who coated your scope for you? Looks good!

Yeah that would be one heck of a way to start lol Not my first bolt just my first re barrelled bolt. I own a few Savage 10's, BA110's in .338 and .300wm and and have owned a few 5R's

The ceracoate was done by customguncoating.com

hmm you do realize with that much work done that you dont have a 5r milspec at all any more... your into the realm of Semi custom... very nice

just to throw in my .02$ id skip on the mono pod, a good rear bag (i use a squeeze bag type) is much more stable and actually faster to adjust for elevation then the mono pods are... i had one.. for about 1 range trip..

Yes, yes I'do Just thought that thread title would be a good for all those expecting to see a basic 5R. Appreciate your thoughts on the monopod as I haven't actually ordered it yet. I did order the bipod but was going to wait until the Christmas season ended before getting it coming. Perhaps now I will reconsider. With every other rifle I have I shoot off a bag just thought the monopod would complete the package

Couldn't agree more on the monopod. I had one and got rid of it. A good rear bag is much more versatile. I had an old army sock and filled it with poly beads and it works better than anything I have used. I am talking for field use. Even on the range I found it better than a bunny ear type bag but thats just me. YMMV. Cheers.
