Rem 700 6BR

[urbanrifleman]

There’s a large gunshow here this weekend. I’m going to scour it for items I will need.

I’m going to do this, I absolutely love my 17HMR rifle. I think this will be just as fun, if not more.

You should give me a call. I can tell you everything you need. Send me a pm.

Don’t forget to go ahead and put a aftermarket trigger in while your at it.

While you’re at the gun show…….
I picked up a couple Howa minis in 6.5 Grendel and 7.62x39. They’re a lot of fun! If you happen to see one, take a closer look.

I will say this.

The most upgradeable platform is the Rem 700/clone (by far). Barrels, stocks, chassis, triggers,rails, etc etc

The Rem 700/ clone is the small block Chevy of actions.

I would also take a hard look at old 25-06 articles here.

If you do decide to go with just reduced loads in the 30-06, I put my sporter barreled action in one of these and it seems really tamehttps://mc3stocks.com/products/tradition

True. I was just adding some “things” to his shopping list. My wife does it to me all the time!
In my old age, I’m liking fun little cartridges more and more.

If I were going to use a long action I would go with 6xc instead of 6br. It would feed better. Tubb has brass super cheap too.

I have money to build this, or buy something new. I would love to do both, but would prefer to do the build.

This is the culprit. It’s already in a Boyd’s pro varmint stock. I put a different bolt knob on it, and also threaded the end of the barrel for a brake. It has a budget vortex scope on it.

Be sure to get a barrel contour that will fit that stock.

My second thought after seeing the pic of your nice rifle is to shoot lighter bullets in that one and start a fresh build on something like a Mack Bros action.

I have a router and i’m not afraid to use it.

I had considered 25-06, but it just seems like an unnecessary amount of powder for shooting paper. The 6br variants are kind of fuel sippers compared to most other options.

I forgot to mention, I do also have a triggertech diamond trigger on this rifle.

I just did a Savage nut system and would recommend these two products, you don’t have to buy a special wrench this way.https://eabco.com/remington-700-acc...earchid=1128922&search_query=Remington+recoil

Those barrels and most other things are 10% off today.

Any thoughts on a shorter than 26” barrel?
Maybe 22” Would be long enough?

Personal preference for the most part, but a 26” or longer is probably best for good speeds for target work.

Here’s a single shot follower for your rifle.

Correct. Like the people who founded the country. Free and independent.

You want a barrel vise that retains the recoil lug. Heat the barrel until the loctite smokes. Only the barrel.
