I know factory Rem's are sloppy, but that back and forth play in the bolt is suppose to be there. Standard practice is to have 0.005-0.010" bolt nose clearance between the bolt nose and the back of the barrel when installing a new barrel. I sometimes run mine a little tighter, but that clearance is so that if a foreign object gets in there, there is still room to get the bolt closed. On my BR rifles, I will run it down to the 0.005" range, but those are guns that don't really get "dirty" like a tactical style rifle might shooting off the ground. Also cutting more than needed off the bolt lugs can cause extraction issues due to loss in cam contact. Therefore you fit the barrel to the receiver/bolt combo, not the bolt to the barrel. Only way to realistically fix the forward movement of the bolt is with a new bolt handle re-welded and timed, or a new PTG bolt. Not trying to bash you, just trying to give some friendly advice.
Not knocking rem 700s but my howa 1500 308. was rebarreled by Douglas and they told me the reciever was square and the action bolt face and lugs did not need any machining.I was told by Douglas they hardly ever have to do to howa what has to be done with every 700 they rebarrel.They also said rem 700s cant get the scope mount holes centered on the action.But hats off to you for the work you do.
Good video. I have a 700P LTR in 308. Timney trigger with tactical bolt knob. I torque the screws to 45 in lbs. it shoots 1 hole at 100 yards using Hornady Match 178gr BTHP. Keeping as is no need to touch, would like to add bottom metal some day.
Cool but you guys didn’t even shoot the gun before you started working on it. It would have been nice to have a before and after look at the accuracy to see if all that work is even worth it
With all that slop in the bolt I'm wondering if chroming the whole thing might be the way to go... might get a bit pricey but it would still look amazing!!
I thread mine and it is now shooting horribly. I believe the harmonics are off. Before I threaded the barrel it was 1/2-3/4 group. What can I do to get back what I had. My smith just remove the brake and add a thread protector. Did not help. Thanks
Would anyone be able to tell me what scope and rings are on it please? looks great. Im using a vortex viper on mine at the moment but its just way too big and don't need so much magnification.
Is there anyway you could do your work to a Remington 783, Springfield 30-06? Your fluted knob and barrel are solid. What are your thoughts on the Magpul 700 hunter. Do you think a 783 would fit the long action stock?
jcs I'm thinking of getting a 308win to shoot out to 1,500yd but the gun has a 20"barrel and I'm thinking of using it for competition shooting what you think about it looking for your advice
I'm by no means a self proclaimed expert. I'm just an average firearms enthusiast but that's too far for a 308. The M24 only has an official range of 800 meters but the longest record sniper kill in combat for a 308 is 1312 yards so you'd be trying to shoot another 200 yards more or less. If you want to shoot out to 1500 then you'll probably need something more like 338 lapua or 50 BMG.The skill to be able to shoot that far will probably take a long time to develop and the equipment and ammo is expensive too. If you are just starting then 308 is fine out to 600 yards and the ammo is affordable. The reason I say that is because at the big gun club near where I used to live, the longest range there is 600 yards and people shoot 308 there.
Hello, I Build my self a 700SPS Tactical on top of a Mcmillan A5 Right now rocking a Busnell Elite. Thinking of upgrade my scope: steiner t5xi 5-25x56mm vs IOR Valdada 6-24x56 35mm witch do you think is the best for my build?
MIne ended up being shit ,,, the cost of having the barrel action accurized vs just having it blue printed with a new barrel was $400 more ... Not worth the money to have these "newer" remys shoot ( thye went to shit after the company sold ) ... Just find a old m700 and a pawnshop and have a smith rebarrel it and you do the rest ,, saves teh gamble on a shelf rifle and paying $$$$ to have it accurized .. PS tye 5r milspecs do shoot good .
It nearly brings me to tears to see such a beautiful rifle, you clearly are a master of your craft

Wait a minute! You advertised different scope rings!! LOL! I'm a big fan of your video brother!!
Wow that is one beautiful rifle.
Cool but you guys didn’t even shoot the gun before you started working on it. It would have been nice to have a before and after look at the accuracy to see if all that work is even worth it
Glad your back!
Good Jobs, very Entertaining.
Great work man. Keep up awesome work
you got some badass looking sleeves
I always buy defiance machine actions and custom barrels
very impressive work. cuanto cuesta?
With all that slop in the bolt I'm wondering if chroming the whole thing might be the way to go... might get a bit pricey but it would still look amazing!!
What was five shot group size at 100 yards?

Amigo tendrás un vídeo donde muestras como sujetar el cerrojo en el torno para hacer la rosca?
Alcance a escuchar reynosa .

What's the price for your accuratized package with all badger components ?
I thread mine and it is now shooting horribly. I believe the harmonics are off. Before I threaded the barrel it was 1/2-3/4 group. What can I do to get back what I had. My smith just remove the brake and add a thread protector. Did not help. Thanks
Can't wait to see more stuff from manners....and have you ever done a .50 for anyone?
Are these available for purchase?
how much do you charge to blue print/ true a Remington 700 action?
What do you charge to thread a LTR .223 barrel and put on a muzzle brake?
Great work!!! Is there any project on table with 6.5 - 7mm or .338 for extreme long ranges????
Would anyone be able to tell me what scope and rings are on it please? looks great. Im using a vortex viper on mine at the moment but its just way too big and don't need so much magnification.

What is the band you have playing sounds great?
What’s the difference between the LTR & Model 700 SPS Varmint | Remington?

I'm confused I called you guys to get a quote for your accurizing package and they said you don't do that anymore ???

When did Remington switch the from the ugly square fluting to the more traditional rounded flutes?
All that work an you put the stock barrel back on?
What do you think is the best 308 caliber weapon?
Just sent you guys an email and it bounced back. Do you have a current one?
How do I get a hold o you? About doing some work?
When did Cheech Marin start building rifles?
Buying the ltr 308 soon. Do you know if that is the new flutes they use or did you just get an odd ball?
2nd Amendment the rounded ones are the new flutes. hope you like your ltr; I really love mine!
