I am wanting to build a custom precision rifle based on a model 70 .300 win mag. I'm just in my planning and development stage at the moment and need to get all my resources lined out. I know I could send it out but if there is a solid local guy I would rather support local economy.
I'll be looking to re-stock and barrel so will need someone who is skilled with bedding, can case the barrel threads and cut the headspace. May need the crown threaded for a brake or suppressor. Also will want the rifle gone over, blueprinted, the whole nine. And will eventually be wanting to have the bolt handle cut and get it drilled and tapped for an oversized bolt handle.
This is just the stuff I'm not familiar with myself. I will be handling trigger work. Any and all suggestions except "trade it for a savage or R700" welcome. I know it's not a popular precision gun and parts aren't as bountiful but I would like to see where I can get with it.
