Guys
Just wanted to share new addition to the family, well, extended family. Built this for my cousin based on a ptg blueprinted rem 700 SA with ptg bolt. Bartlein 5R, 21", 8" twist.
Reamed with saami reamer from Manson. Ptg bottom metal and .308 length box and follower. Timney trigger. Still needs cerakote. 5/8-24 threads with well blended thread protector. Waiting on vortex scope(man they're scarce right now).
Looks to be a shooter so far. Really liked the amax with 31.8 cfe seated to 2.26. I was shooting over new magnetospeed and it kept coming loose and I think causing vertical stringing. Without it all groups were clusters, not bug holes but all less than moa.
Also had a nice group with Berger 130 AR HYBRID over 30.3 cfe, just a starting load, it was 5 shots in one hole. Still trying to find that target. Didn't have chrono that day cause of a ups snafu, but went back next day with it. Still need to go back and do more organized testing. We were like little kids at Christmas!! Lol.
ETA: barrel is a #4 countour, stock is B&C tan & black web.
Hope you guys enjoy.
