    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....

    In longrange riflery, trajectory is the pure science part. Gravity is a constant for our purposes.
    Wind is in the art department.
    Light is pure fucking voodoo.

    Looks well protected, I'd flip the foam and have the wood towards the case spine.
    What barrels do you have?

    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 accurately

    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

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
