    Wanted to take the time to thank everyone here in the boards for the private messages of encouragement and getting me pushed in the right direction. I was able to do this project myself with your guidance and this was a pretty fun build. So here is the total parts and pieces and let people pick it apart. But I think it turned out pretty good. My goal was to have a safe and reliable long range tactical rifle for a reasonable price that my wife and I could both shoot.

    Standard: Remington 700 AAC-SD .308
    20” 1:10 twist Heavy Barrel with 5/8-24 Threaded Muzzle
    Pillar bedded Ghillie Green Hogue over-molded stock. Heavy contour barrel has a 5/8-24 inch threaded muzzle to accept all AAC suppressors

    Modifications:
    Bell and Carlson Medalist M40 Varmint/Tactical Rifle Stock Remington 700 BDL - Midway USA
    Wyatt's Outdoors Trigger Guard and Detachable Magazine Assembly Remington 700 Short Action -Midway USA

    Badger Ordnance 1-Piece Maximized Picatinny-Style 20 MOA Elevated Scope Base and short Badger 30mm rings - Midway

    Primary Arms® New 4-14X44 FFP Scope with Patented ACSS® HUD DMR .308/.223 Reticle
    PRODUCT CODE: PA4-14XFFP308

    Harris S-BRM Bipod Leg Notch Sling Swivel Stud Mount 6" to 9" Black

    Witt Machine Directional Muzzle Break


    The biggest question I had going into this project was the merger between the stock and the trigger guard. I actually called many local services and many people said I would have the stock altered to fit the trigger guard.
    I had some people post and others private message me and say It wouldn't need any work at all.

    The good news is the merger between these two systems is drop in.
    Zero modification required. The setup I have above went together in about a half hour trouble free.

    Hopefully on the 14th I will get a chance to go out and get some rounds on paper to test this new build that the community has really helped put together. So here is some pictures and of course if you have any questions let me know.


    Again thanks for the help!!

    Sorry for the slow reply, long day at the office. 250 for the stock and 250 for the bottom. I love it personally because everything just goes together and zero fuss. Really want.to see what I get out at the range but for the price ita hard to beat. But will definitely post shots on paper.

    Awesome i have a similar build. How is the bottom metal? Its my next purchase.
    I have the Wyatts. One mag would not feed the 2nd to last round in the mag properly. Had to disassemble the mag and modify the spring to get it to work right. My other mag worked fine right off the bat. Fairly common problem after some reading. My advice is if you haven't gotten a stock for your 700 yet get one already inletted for bottom metal that uses AI mags.

    I think something similar is going to be my next gun. Going to start with this same rifle, build it on the Magpul Hunter stock coming out this year, and suppress it, eventually.
