It all started out a year ago when I picked up a 1972 Rem 700 in 7mm Rem mag. $450 out the door with 6x36 gloss Leupold with post and duplex. Dumped the scope for $150. Got another $75 for the stock and Flave gave me $50 for the trigger. I figured $175 in deep for a action wasn't to bad. Back in August I started making a few phone calls and the last piece just came in. Well I still need a trigger and scope so it looks like something in the safe is getting robed. Now I just need Redneck's address. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q557/les760/A28B87C2-E2BE-4EC6-9C49-D82A5695E6CB.jpg)

Is that the back end of a McMillan Classic? If yes, that looks like a whole lot of barrel for the stock pattern to handle.

Classic with a Brux #4. It looks pretty good sitting in the stock but if I had it to do over, I would have had McM inlet for the #5 Brux. Nothing a little sanding won't fix. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q557/les760/5FAE072D-3C56-47C2-BFD5-A0A00C66761A.jpg)

The picture fooled me. The barrel looked bigger than that to my eye, like a straight taper #6.

Awesome Les! Can't wait to see how yours turns out!  My dies are gunna be here next week miracously and I'll have everything I need for mine. What bullets are you looking to shoot out of it? What twist did you go with? What are you going to finish you barrel length at?

It's a 9 twist that will finish at 25". If I can find them it will get a steady diet of 162gr AMax with a few 120gr. TTSX and 150gr. Partition thrown in as well.
Congrats on finally getting some dies Matt

Les you will like it. All my other guns have taken a back seat and some have even went down the road after I built my mashburn.

Nice Les! It's pulling together and almost there!
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
