Hey guys I decided to spoil my self after landing my first job after finishing college. I've always wanted a remington 700 and have decided to do some what of a "build" off their sps model. http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/centerfire/model-700/model-700-sps.aspx
Here is something that I saw online and will be using as a guide. http://www.huntthewest.com/2012/7mmSTW3.php
I've decided on a 260. But from there I'm on the fence about what to do. I definitely will be replacing the stock, maybe with an HS precision or something long those lines. I also want to cerakote it to help make it a little bit more weather proof.
Who ever customized this rifle (http://www.huntthewest.com/2012/7mmSTW3.php) fluted the barrel and bolt as well as skeletonized the bolt handle. I don't think the cost of having this done can justify the benefits. It seems that this only shed a few ounces of the weight of the gun.
Any thoughts, warnings or suggestions are welcome! And of course Ill keep this thread updated as this comes together!
