New PRS project

[Macrosill]

Just ordered a blued Remington 700 action with Carbon bolt and .223 bolt face from Southshore Sportsman! Should be in next week.

What are you planning? Barrel, trigger, stock, optics?? Do tell....

[Macrosill]

I have not gotten that far yet. I am eyeing the new lower price point McMillian stocks, their Grayboe line.

Nothing has been decided just yet. This is only the beginning.

I already have a Savage 110 LA 30.06 that I converted to a SA with a bolt mod, a tactical stock, adjustable cheek rest, Harris Bipod, the action was bedded with JB Weld, 308 chambered CDI Varmit barrel, inlayed DBM, extened bolt handle, 20moa rail, med height rings and 10x Bushnell Elite mill/mill glass. That is all I can recall offhand.

My understanding is that is basically an molded stock as opposed to epoxy fill in a fiberglass shell. Should be interesting.

It is a regular steel bolt but has a finish to simulate carbon fiber type look.

[Jarheadsergeant]

Do you mean the top one in the picture?

[Macrosill]

Yes

[Havfun]

i like that look on the bolt

[Jarheadsergeant]

Cool beans.

I've never heard it called that- normally jeweled or engine turned.

The actions are sometimes called "carbon steel" ie blue, or stainless.

Maybe the picture was wrong and you are right. We shall see when it comes in next week. Either way, no biggie.

I have a bunch of those...

Wait until you see what I get in three weeks....
