just finished my Rem-age 700, 260 blacknitride...

[Ring]

just got back my 700 rem-age project from H&M


this was is when i 1st got it.. a 308





this was it after i tore the old BBL off and replaced with a rem-age CBI 260 match 24" and PTG bolt
and had Dan over at Darkeagle Custom, Inc. Trued receiver lugs, face of receiver – cleaned gunk out of threads and chased with a tap, faced nut, and cut notch in receiver to lock recoil lug









after breaking in the throat with 40 rounds, i pulled it back apart and dropped it off at H&M Welcome to H & M Metal Processing





the action even with 0 oil on it is smooth as glass...


i just head spaced it and put it back together, and im on the way to the range to work a load up as soon as i finish posting this...

So a Remington 700 with a nut?

few questions. Not bashing. just asking, Why not just go with a savage from the start? What advantages is the nut?

Good looking gun BTW

Plenty more stock, trigger and DBM options for Remington.

I actually have it Savage 260 that's identical to that Remingtonkama so the question is why do I have to the exact same gun made by two separate companies, I don't know... why not


My savage.

 

[leadbullet]

what is better than one .260 ?? two of them of course, congrats on a nice pair of winners.

 

[BoilerUP]

You got the Criterion 260 Match chamber...that's the one with the mile-long freebore right?

 

[JCH]

what was the turn around time from H&M?, They quoted me 5-7 days.

 

[Ring]

I dropped it off Friday at h&m and picked it up Monday.. But I'm local...

Yes , match chamber... Shooting 140amax... I'm COL at near mag max 2.875
I'm at the range right now...

1st test target...

 

[Ring]

They both shoot well... I like the 700 action a bit better...

 

[demolitionman]

Wow. Both are such kickass looking rifles. Looks like the Remage is gonna be a shooter for sure! Bad ass.

 

[demolitionman]

What is the attribute of the 700 action and setup (non Remage as well) that makes them more desirable over "bolt nut" guns? Is it the ability to be more "concentric" from boltface to bore because the action and Barrell are mated without the opposing torque of a barrel nut?

 

[Beepy]

I'm getting into the same boat. I love my savages, I like doing my own barrel changes and am right now working on converting my Remmy 700 to a barrel nut. I do like the action on my remington a little better - makes it the best of both worlds....

Question for the OP...

did you have to have the McRee's stock opened up for the remage barrel nut?

 

[Ring]

No advantage to not using the nut other then looks...
And not have to pay a smith 300$ to do the same work I can do at home for free...
Also, I can set the head space to dead zero

As u can see by the test targets it shoots quite well even with those fast loads that made up. Could I tweak it and make it shoot even better? maybe, but I'm not building a bench rest gUn

 

[Ring]

Mcreebor any other should fit fine... The but is slightly less in diameter then the receiver..

~5-10 days was the estimate they gave me also.

It took 5-6 weeks.

This was a little over a year ago.

from: 20 minutes ago a 760 yard one shot kill

 

[demolitionman]

Whack'n those hogs!! Nice!

 

[cobaltbomb]

i would use lower rings, other than that nitriding is one thing i am gona have doe for sure on my next barrel aswell

 

[Ring]

with a adjustable cheek peace Scope hight doesn't matter, also the reason its like that to 20 Moa. base on top of a 20moa rail and that gives me dialing out a 2000 yards
