reynolds357 said:The easiest first build would be to use a Savage short action. I would recommend a pre chambered barrel from Shilen. More than likely you wont even have to use your machinist skills. If you just want a challenge use a 700 Remington action and order a barrel blank. Then you will have to buy the reamer and you will have more invested in building from a blank than you would have in buying a finished barrel
reynolds357 said:Taylor, I posted no misinformation. I never said what you can and cant get for a Remington. "I said if you want a challenge," buy such and such. You can get prefit barrels for Remingtons that use nuts, but thats not going to challenge ones machinist skills. A blank would do that. As far as renting reamers, you can do it but unless pricing has changed I dont see it as greatly cost effective.
