My good buddy @Dobs013 has been hounding me to get back into building guns. He started this snowball so here it goes.
Offical name: Remy Dobs Because Remy Lacroix is HAWT and it's Dobs' fault. BARRELED ACTION: Bought this off of the EE from Samuse Remington 700P 308 Timney 510 Badger bolt knob Nightforce Xtreme Duty 20MOA base bedded Attached File STOCK: Bought this off of the EE from rrbgeb McMillan A1-3 adjustable Like BNIB outstanding stock Attached File THE PLAN: If the M40a1 and the XM3 had a baby using and super hot Army female sniper as a surrogate on a budget what would it be? Keep the finished product under $1800 without the cost of gunsmithing. Going to cut the barrel down to 18.5" and thread it. Currently, have a Magpul bottom plastic and mag. Going to run until I can find a Badger or PTG for cheap! Badger or MK4 rings. If you got a set let a brother know! Will 90% more than likely be a host for a suppressor just don't know which yet HELP PLEASE Wanting to go with a MIL/MIL FFP optic something variable power between 1x-15x MOAR HELP PLEASE Attached File USE: Ultimate Urban Sniper Deer Hunter. 0-600m 1 MOA capable Find ammo anywhere because I won't be reloading for a while Well Rounded in all areas Shoot at the Range Local PRS Deer hunt Shoot MOA All Day Long Challenge Have fun Attached File As always your input is much appreciated. HOWEVER, this isn't a super precision rifle that will never get dirty. I plan to work the hell out of this rifle. I will update as parts are found, work is done, and testing has been completed. ETA: The action side of blue tape marks 18.5" |

I need pic's of the hot female sniper holding finished product.
I would shoot a group before cut down and after so you will have an idea if you effected the accuracy positive or negative. And what ammo grouped best before and after. |

Looks like a nice project, very similar to a deer rifle build I'm doing except with the adjustable HTG M40 stock, Krieger 5R, Jewell trigger and Badger lug.
I'd take a look at the bottom metal from Surgeon rifles, I think the mag release is a better design, for a suppressor I don't think you could do much better than a TBAC Ultra 9 brake attach. Scope on my rifle will be a Trijicon AccuPower 1-8x28mm I just got. ETA: here it is on my trusty GA Prec. .308 I've had for almost 17 years now. Attached File |

Sorry for the long delay.
Gunsmith is all kinds of busy and they were broken into this pass weekend. On top of the owner's wife and office manager having to go through chemo. Shouldn't be much longer. |

Just the magazine by itself won't fit into the inlet. I would say about $100-$150 for a set up like mine. Less than $100 for a Bell and Carlson stock, I've seen a few guys and youtube video DIY. It didn't take much effort. |
