Hello Hide. Hoping to get a little advice on a budget build. I have a Remington 700 ADL chambered in 300WM. It is currently sitting in a MDT HS3 chassis and has a Timney 510 trigger. The plan has always been to rebarrel it with a heavier profile, then work up a load to shoot out to 1 mile at my local range. However, being a budget rifle I’ve always been hesitant to put a lot of money into the rebarrel. I was considering trying one of the new Outlier prefits made by the Arken Optics guys. With their current sale I can get a 26” fluted for less than $300. My question is, am I correct in assuming it will have a barrel nut, and do you think I’ll have enough clearance for one in the MDT HS3 chassis? I’d also like to know if anyone has experience with the accuracy of those barrels but I’m assuming they are too new for many to have tried them. Another question would be if anyone knows anyone in the Charlotte NC area that could install the barrel for me. I really want to keep this build cheap as possible since it will only be a range toy and I dont shoot competition. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
