I sent a Remington 700 action to American Precision Arms, had them true it. Dropped it in a McMllan Game Warden stock, put on a 28 inch Proof carbon barrel and Trigger Tech Trigger. Fat Bastard Gen 3 brake. Getting 2950 FPS shooting Barnes 225 TTSX (4350 foot pounds), legitimate 0.5 MOA gun. I have verified it out to 800 yards and it is a hammer. I have had APA build me a number of guns and they all shoot. They are pretty prompt but you won’t get one done in 30 days.
