I need help on Rem 30 Express scope bases.

Very beautiful butch. Those rifles like that you have make me weak in the knees.

Well......not so pretty but I found some time to make a recoil pad fit the gun without changing the original stock. At least, it’s functional and it will be more comfortable to shoot.

I've found a few #35s and set up the mill . Started one and realized I needed to modify the cross slot . Easy . I was looking for the one piece base but that's almost a lost cause . I think I found the target bases , need to measure to be sure .
Hopefully I'll be done this afternoon or tomorrow .
That recoil pad was better than what I was doing . Ouch

Hi Gary: Thank you. With the cobbled together recoil pad done, all I need are bases! I have dies, brass, bullets and powder. I even found some factory ammo on sale at 50% off. I thought that was a good omen.

It’s a matter of respect. That’s not a mass produced factory stock. Some very talented woodworker put a lot of time into it. He probably did the whole stock by hand, too. I have a Remington long action for a 30-06 build. That one will get one of my stocks. This one stays original.

Ok that sounds good

Think how I’d feel if you pulled my stock off your gun and just left it leaning in a corner.

Oh my but I wouldn’t leave it in the corner I’d hang it on the wall. And BTW was that a typo about your Remington 700

On it's way . USPS priority .
Pleas let me know if the weaver style fits correctly . I installed screws in the target bases and taped them in , make sure they aren't too long .
Later

A big THANK YOU to Ggmac! He sent me 2 sets of bases. One modern and one old school. I went with old school as the gun seemed to call for it. I put an old Tasco 18 power on .She’s ready to shoot!!
