njbowhntr Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Sounds like a nice setup, post up some pics when you get it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunterbobb Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I have had several rifles rebarreled by shaw. They do excellent work and you should be very happy. :gun2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbowhntr Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. :gun2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
