Need some help

[bohem]

I'm looking for some external dimensions on the Rem 700 action. I've got a design project underway for a self-designed bolt gun and I'd like to have a decent selection of high quality stocks without having to go to a full custom job.

My idea is to make it so that I can fit this barreled action and bottom metal into a Remington 700 full length action (the first rifle is going to be a 30-06 because I already have the finishing reamer).

Can anyone give me a hand hopefully finding a drawing for the receiver or stock inletting shape (that would actually be the best).

Thanks in advance.

I'd touch base with some of the bigger shops that have the machines to do it to spec.... Is it a McMillan/Manners/B&C/or H&S prec.? Just see it as one of those things best done by those who do it for a living.... The cost/over your time, hassle, and set-up would probably make it worth while...

Re: Need some help

It's not a Spec anything action at this point, it's still a CAD model on my computer that I'm working on while saving money for the build. I like the idea of talking to the shops that do custom inletting, I'll have to find some and give them a call.

Does anyone have dimensions on it to give me some ideas though?
