Bell & Carlson stock, Timney trigger & 23" sporter weight barrel The genesis for the project was a 1984 Rem 700 BDL action. Here's a few pics This was my 2nd 5 shot group attempt with my new outfit. Believe me, I was happy the way it performed.

It also has a Timney trigger, a 501. So far, I'm just shooting factory Nosler 120 NBT's. Gotta work up some loads. Pharmseller likes Big Game for his 7-08, shoots some good groups.

I ended buying a pair in matt finish, remove the bluing, sanded them by hand with 1200 wet/dry sandpaper, polished them and then had them reblued.
