Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Best use of a 700 SA?

Stick- Any 270s been built on a RAR? Is there a good reason not too? Due to stupid laws, can't use a .22 CF on deer here, but can a .243" bullet. Thinking my 8yo would find it totally suitable and leaning RAR because he shoots lefthanded.

Hey Stick - anything specific that you don't like about the Wyatt's?

Wyatt's are not as stout as a factory Remington box and the factory 700s have to have a bit of milling done on them for the box to work. Additionally, they often need to be trimmed on the bottom to get them to fit the chosen action/stock/floor plate combo and may need some adjustments get them to feed as reliably as factory. If you don't like the protruding DBM and have oodles of patience, the Wyatt can be made to work and the extra COAL is useful but the DBM is an easier route to the same end.

Thanks for the info John.

pointer,

The 270 is great,in anything with 8" RPM or better and the COAL to grant 105 opportunity(2.450" is a ballpark-ish start there).

A RAR is tough to cuss for the loot and I'd be hip on punching a 8" 223 to 223AI...then gunning it in a MDT LSS Chassis(they are ambi too). You get the DBM,copious COAL and a solid platform which connects alotta dots.

Drive steel AM 5-rounders as a default and MDT 10rd ply's for niche applications.

If building/rebarreling,I'd rather go 700.

For the kids...Montucky or bust and I hear good thangs about a 270 in said platform................(grin)















'10K,

The Wyatt schit is fhuqking phony. Plus it often costs a round in the belly.

Other than that,they are "great"...but Tasco sells alotta scopes and that is "prudent" to some.(grin)

Wyatt is an EASY pass and I'm happy to report,that I've never lost a bet of that size............















'64d,

Wyatt is a series of heavy concessions,that inherently negates them as a viable option.

ADL or DBM for me. ADL for Lightweight Killing/Utility Rifles and DBM for Play Toys.

The 8" or better RPM 270,is a straight up Vulcan Mind Fhuqk. It is a pleasure to whistle 100's of 105's through in a day and it's mild manners are rather sumptin' else to behold.

Though I only shoot 270,BR,243,243AI,6mm,6mmAI,6-284 and 6-06 Custom Rifles,from which to extrapolate.

Hint.............

Ran a TCU in a 21" TC 12T yes ago. Mild bark and bite. Fun rifle but would never do another as the 45 is same same w less work and only if 8T which opens many doors. Run many BR's but the 45 is an easier prop to feed in a bolt.

Thanks for the info. May just go cheap and get a RAR in 243 and pull a couple of plug wires as the stupid law only allows .243" or .308" bullets. Wonder if I could Dremel a .243 over the 223 designator on a RAR...
