Can you expand on that? Like, hard to close, or deforming plastic when closed?

I like the idea, but I think cut foam offers better protection unless all of the empty spaces are filled with the Legos.

You're right, definitely needed clarification. It is pushing the lid up when closed, to the point where I'd be worried the seals are compromised, turrets would take a hard impact on the lid side, and I would never check this setup on any plane.

Bought this Remington 700 ADL 308 varmint at dicks around 2010 before they went all stupid.
Sold to my boss the next year. Got an itch and bought back from same boss.

Project gun
Got oryx chassis today
Night force rail is enroute as is the scope, pst gen2 5-25

Depending on how she shoots I'll either thread this year or swap barrels next year or so.
Modded the factory trigger to ~3.5#, safest I felt the xmark could go.

To still buy:
Rings ASAP
Trigger this year.

Side panels look blue but are grey.

I was at 0.2MOA after 4 shots at 600y but of course I screwed it up on the 5th shot.

At 1,000y I shot factory 147gr ELD Hornady Match and shot right around .6 MOA.

222 Remington on an FN Mauser action.

As it sits, I have very little $$ in this rifle, very littel.
Most of the actions in this thread cost more than I have in this entire rifle.
Though it is probably not "tactical" enough for this thread.

Stock and action were bought as a complete 6.5x300Wby bench rifle.
It was not the factory single shot FN action I had hoped, so I sold the barrel and bolt on eBay, got my money back.
Action is interesting (to me) and heavily modified below the wood line with accuracy in mind.

Bolt is a factory FN .222 bolt which is stupid rare. Picked it up for lowball bid at an online auction.
They didn't show the bolt face and I didn't know what it was until is showed up.

Barrel is unknown maker from a large (100+) barrel lot purchased at a dead gunsmith auction. (If it shoots, I have its twin.)

Suppressor is an off brand from an out of business manufacturer. Low ball bid at their bankruptcy auction.

Japanese Tasco 8x-32x w/ 1/8th minute dot.
These scopes are amazing values & sleepers. When the Japanese made versions show up, I snag them. I had to take this one out of its original box.....

Machine work and barrel were part of a trade with a local gunsmith. For a complete commercial Mauser action he barreled four actions including this one.
