My goal is to have something like an M40A1 or an M40A3. I need help with my base Remington 700 before I start to build. I'm thinking about buying the rifle now and possibly upgrading the stock and barrel later. There is a custom shop here in town that does blueprinting. I'm just having problems getting my base rifle. The 24" 700P in 308 is perfect to get me started but they currently only offer it with a big tactical bolt. I need the iconic 700 flat bolt. I see they used to sell the police with the flat bolt, and I just missed out on one in the for sale group. Can anyone help me find a heavy barrel, 700 with the flat bolt?
