Well I'm tired of my "military" sniper rifles and want to make something on my own around the remington 700...
I am pretty sure I'm set on 308 or 300win mag calibers, I'd buy a 338lap but due to some of our regulations I'd be in danger of losing the rifle in the following years if something changed...
Mind you I am from a country where luxury tax is applied to weapons and parts so I will not buy a custom rig but build one myself. Thankfully we have a remington dealer and he can hook me up with most 700 models available today.
What chaises are there except the AI ones ? What 700 model would be best to start from if money was not a problem in getting the basic rifle ? ( I can't order custom barrels as of now but will have that option in the following year).
I'd like to have a heavy barrel installed on the 700 out of factory and would be interested in lowering the recoil of the rifle in any way possible except a suppressor ( not legal here).
I have extensively been shooting with a 30-06, Mauser 8mm, 308 etc etc so I'm not scared of flinch problems or stuff that happens when you go from 22 to 300winmag without shooting a ton of led.
What would your ideas be , ideal setup for this build, alternative calibers and ideas for a rifle I'd want to use to finally get my 1k shot
, I have time and have some 3-5k$ available to build this rig...
And no, I can't get my hands on a Savage or Tikka at the moment, i have a Savage Thompson but that's another story...
All your ideas, input, suggestions and replies will mean much to me and am thankful in advance for them.
Cheers
