Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Short to Mid-range Compact Thumper (New Custom)

I think I like it....just need to see how it shoots now.

Rem SA 700 ADL
Bolt fluting/skeletonizing by Kampfeld
Pac-Nor S/S Barrel - can't remember, but think it's a #4. Muzzle diameter is .690" at 18.5".
Brown Precision stock pilar-bedded

Ray Montgomery in Colorado trued the action and installed/chambered the barrel. It's a 358 Win throated for a 200 Gr. Hornady SP at 2.825" COL. Barrel was cut to 18.5".

I was wondering what was taking Ray so long, but didn't want to bother him. He sent the barreled action back with a note saying that he had suffered a heart attack right after he finished the rifle and was out of commission for about a month and a half. VERY understandable and I hope Ray is doing better now (for selfish reasons because I have a few more to send him).

Anyway....here it is. I used the heavier contour to keep the balance while having a compact rifle. The rifle with scope balances right at the front action screw. Weight as shown is right at 7 lbs and feels really good (technical term) to the shoulder and in shooting position.
