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. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/358_Win_1.JPG) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/358_Win_2.JPG)

I'm with him. That's a dang cool little rifle, especially with that stubby/chubby stainless tube.
Now with even more aplomb

+1 I'm not a Remington 700 OR synthetic stock guy and I think think that thing looks (and is sure to function) fantastic!! The whole concept is just cool...

I like the length of the forearm, gives the rifle a kind of 600/660ish look.

That's what I'd call " 358heaven " right there.
Nicely done ! I'd leave the stock just the way it is.

Should be great for pigs in the mesquites or creek bottoms. Nice rig!
