Finally dropped off...

Well I finally dropped off my Remington 700 short action to the gunsmith. He is blueprinting the action. Then it is getting sent to ER Shaw for a 24" 2.5 contour stainless .308. When it gets back from that he is going to open up the channel on the stock and glass/pillar bed for me. Then I get it back to finish off the finish on the stock. I am going with a Boyd laminated stock. I will have to open up the bottom for a detachable magazine. The only thing is the time frame, Shaw is saying 4 months. But for the price I have nothing but time.

Well the stock option has been changed. Today I ordered a Bell and Carlson Medalist in olive drab black web. Rifle-accuracy has them inletted for a DM. So all I am going to have to do is open the barrel channel. I will probably still have the gunsmith glass bed it while he is doing the barrel channel, it could not hurt.

Good idea, beacause Bell and Carlson stocks are not injection modeled they really benefit greatly from being glass bedded. They are a great stock and what you are having done is the right way to go.

The only problem I see is that after all this work is finished, this rifle will probably shoot groups so small you will never want to shoot anything else.
