Piecing together a .308 on a budget for hunting...gonna be used mainly by one of my sons...

Traded a GLOCK 22 to my brother for an old Rem 700 SA he had collecting dust...

Purchased this McMillan stock from kyabrams66 here on the Hide.

Found a used Hart barrel on Ebay for $80 and had it chopped to 18.25", re-threaded, & re-chambered plus bead-blasted. Sent the bolt to Jered at APA to get his knob put on. Just sent the stock to Badger to have it inletted for a DBM I have in the safe. Gonna parkerize the action and bolt. Should come together nicely and hopefully send a few piggies and whitetails to get their wings...

Daddy?

Looks like a fun combo. I actually have a very similar build at the gunsmith now, but it's for me. At 16, my sons focus has shifted if you know what I mean.

Getting excited.... My Cerakote guy just txt'd me these two pics. Some of the parts we did in Highland Green and some in Mil-Spec Green.... Going to pick up the pieces this evening and hopefully have her pieced together and shooting by morning...

I absolutely love the lightweight rigs, and yours looks great. I bought a AAC last year and love it for a lightweight hunting rifle. Wish the pos stock was better would have loved to have put a DBM on it, but it's still a handy lil rifle. Now lets get on them deer!!!!

Cerakote seemed to be fine on the rings. Cerakote goes on so thin (1mil, I was told) that it doesn't seem to play a factor in much at all. My action actually seems smoother and the entire bolt as Cerakote'd except for its face.
