Building a long-range rifle in 300 Jr.

Looks very nice! How does she shoot?

Do you only work with Remington and Remington clone actions or do you also work with Winchester, Tikka, etc?

My Winchester 7wsm was built by GA Precision and the barrel has slowed down and the throat is getting to a point where I'm at mag length touching the lands. I have a feeling this may be the last year on this barrel before I have to buy another one.

Beautiful end result! Nice glass on it too.

Gotta say, I've really enjoyed this thread. I love WIP threads! One day I'll have a custom rifle built...

Thank you Dennis! The scope is a Burris XTR II 8X-40X-50mm with a 34mm tube...


Jcann - fireform loads average 1/2" for 3 shots at 200 yds., so I think it might be a shooter...

Yes, I work on other actions besides Remington and clones there of. I built this Winchester in 30-284 a few years ago, and here are a couple of pictures with it. The deer was taken at 1,044 yds. and the coyote was taken at 812 yds...
