P_ham Rem 700 makeover

[Addicting]

Just thought I would share this here. Did a makeover on one of my favorite rifles with Paul.

It’s a 260 Ackley that has been my go to for a while. The original build was a trued action, Lilja 3 groove 8 twist, Trigger Tech independence, and B&C sporter.

It functioned fine but I hated the stock. I felt like it was holding the gun back from being a true 1/2moa rifle. I just couldn’t get comfortable as it didn’t fit well.

A McMillan Hunter Edge was ordered and bedded. Then he threaded and made a smooth cap for the barrel. He gave it a tungsten cerakote and it all came together. Makes me really want to touch up my scope scratches. Looking forward to getting this back to the range. Maybe even out west for a nice mule deer this year.

Good choice on the smooth cap, slick rifle indeed.

Keep the scars on the scope. It adds gravitas.

Nice work!

Great rifle. Who made your knob?

That turned out nice and I share the feeling on B&C stocks. I know a lot of people like them, but not my thing. Good luck at the range.

Pierce Engineering built it as part of the original build. It was quite a bit bigger when I went to pick it up. They threw it in the lathe and turned it down more and mailed it to me.

I saw this in the shop, looked great. Paul AI'd a 260 for me a while back, and turned a good rifle into a great one. This is significantly nicer than mine though, congrats.

Thanks, N555 is your best friend with the AI. Mine shoots the 127 Barnes LRX at 3120fps.
