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.
If you live in the land of guns and the 2nd...I'd watch for a ruger 77 stainless 7.62x39 boat paddle and do a barrel swap to Grendel. That's on my list for one day to have a proper stainless quality bolt action as legacy doesn't seem to want to bring in howa's in stainless like they get in other markets. There is some sako super short action options out there that could work also for a proper quality bolt action build that base off the right case face and magazine length. Just some other ideas and thoughts.
