I bought this Remington 700 in 6.5CM a few yeas ago off a Club member because it was cheap, and I wanted the stock that was on it (one of the Choate McMillan look-a-likes) for another rifle.
The barreled action has sat in the safe since then, and I cobbled a rig together with some surplus bits with the intent of selling.
I took it to the Range today to shoot some groups to sell its performance....looks like I'll be keeping it....
Looks well protected, I'd flip the foam and have the wood towards the case spine.Quote:

New stock the ultra classic was very tricky to shoot being so slender and the over all weight of the rifle so light recoil with a can was a lot while I was use to it it was hard to have anyone else get behind it accuratelyQuote:

Second hand but my strong suspicion is that it was on a C endorsement and has never been shot as it is in mint condition.
Tis a happy wee Rushy sitting on his lonesome eating his own cooking. Ha ha ha ha

Beautifully made...
Super, super slick action...

Though about buying this but then realised I would have to mortgage the house first.

Picked this up recently, nice old tikka m690 in 270. $500 from the second hand section of one of the locals. And a quick $150 for a suppressor off this site and it presents very well, have sorted it for my mates first rifle and was tempted to keep it for myself. Has a weaver 3-9 on it that was most likely put on it new.

My latest build, got sick of lugging the light but very long Waypoint 6.5prc through thick bush so finally got round to completing a project I'd hand in mind (and safe) for the last couple of years. I wanted something short and light, didn't cost an arm and a leg, but allowed the use of my OD suppressor which did. Meant I was stuck with an HBAR profile being mandatory, so what started as a Howa 1500 .308 20" Blued HBAR became this. A 14" fluted and painted bush pig. The barrel chop, threading/re-crown, and fluting work was done by DPT. Cerakote was outsourced by GC. I am very happy with the work from both, and the end result is a well balanced rifle. The suppressor is an OD Alpine Hunter Magnum, the optic is a Leupold VX-3HD 1.5-5x20 FireDot Twilight Hunter. Cerakote colour code is H-264 for barrel and action (both rifles), C-110 for the bolt on the Howa.

My Kimber Adirondack in 308 with a 17” barrel. I did have a Swaro z3 3-10 on which topped it off nicely as a bush rifle but recently put the Zeiss hd5 3-15x42 on as I’m planning on doing some more open country aswell soon. Gave the rifle a birthday couple weeks ago and painted the stock how I’ve always wanted it to look and very happy with how it turned out, the paint job survived its first damp clements bush bash which is good.

Great paint job :thumbsup:
After what seemed an eternity (3 weeks) my 300 prc bergara turned up today courtesy of forum gc's
