Howdy all.
Ive bounced back and forth a couple of times on action choice but have finally settled on a 700.
I have a 700 action in 223 at my guy to have the bolt face opened up and a M16/Sako extractor installed. He is going to skim cut the face as well but thats as far as as this action will go as far as work done to it.
I found someone making RemAge barrels in a reasonable time frame. Going with a 16.25 varmint contour, 1:8 to run 129s comfortably. Will be run with a silencer.
I have a cheapy stock (for now) that I will run. I will do a hinged floor plate down the road, but this is a blind mag and thats just fine.
Timney trigger, Weaver USA pic-rail, blah-blah.
Thoughts on this set-up? Any thing on mag box I need to be aware of (its the 223 box)? Any other issues concerns Im not seeing?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
