My employer is bidding on a job in your neck of the woods, possibly a two+ year job. So, naturally, I think I need to build a Hoosier rifle! Mostly inspired buy Tom264's .358 WSSM. So, what's it take to get a Remington 700 up and running? Do you start with a standard WSM action? Block the magazine and bolt stop? Mag box/follower?

Rem 700 is harder to get to feed/function the short fat bastids. Go with a Model 70 WSSM action. Don't have to do anything with it.
My gunsmith actually has a 700 he rebarreled, and I think it's for sale...
I'll throw a pic of mine up here shortly.

I heard it's going to be a doozy too, even gayer than the last one....
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I've been wanting to get a black and orange mcswirly. I saw one the other day here with red in the mix and it was pretty cool too....

Off topic, but I had the last Mickey I ordered shipped out on Monday last week. That was the first time I didn't have one in the works for about two and a half years. Ordered another one yesterday (a KS in yellow-orange-black flame, like I intended the other one to be). That was the worst six days in a long time!
