Rem. 600 project

I'm doing this Rem 600 project now and thought I'd hang some random pics of it.

Good shootin' -Al

Nice.
What cartridge is that?

It's the OG XP100 cartridge....221 Fireball.

Chad Schmidt happened to have this barrel and dontated it to the project, which is destined for a young shooter interested in predator hunting.

Bases were aligned with the Dan Hackett 'Base Align' (one of the best tools ever ) and then bedded to the receiver. Done this way, you can remove the reinstall the bases and the bases remain in alignment. This is the Picatinny/Weaver underside. The other side is for Davidson/Kelbly/Harrell's 3/8 dovetails. The front screws were faced of a bit as the heads were a bit thick and protruded above the base.

To Dan at whatever rifle range in the Great Beyond he's at now...punching little groups in perfect conditions...thanks so much for a slick tool that I use often! -Al

Are the bases loaded into the dovetail alignment tool and held in line as the bases are tightened
to the action.

Hal, I've done it both that way and with the bases loose on the receiver to start with. The bases are bedded to fit the receiver so boths ways give good results.

That's a handy tool that I am going to have to make now..... I have the same situation coming up, needing to get some bases right and have been trying to figure out how I was going to do it. Thanks for the post!

I have had thoughts of a tool like that rattling around in my head for over 2 years! I even drew up a rough sketch.
Now that I see a real one, it has to get made, sooner rather than later.
Thanks for sharing, Al.
