    The stock finally arrived, and now my Remington 700 project is complete. I thought I'd share the details in hopes of inspiring other 'Hide members' builds.

    It is a sweet little shooter, and has quickly become my favorite. There's just something about the low-recoiling, super-accurate 223 Remington cartridge that keeps me smiling. Everyone needs a 223 Remington in their arsenal. I'd almost argue one over a 22LR trainer.

    I've settled on 80g SMKs over 24.1 grains of Varget for now. It ain't the fastest, but it is sure accurate.
