So I wanted an obscure calibre in a really light gun.

Then I read the books, read the KB, asked some questions and then got this.

Remington 700 tactical in .308, secondhand dropped in a Jewel trigger (man are they smooth!) then a used and roughed up HS Precision stock. EGW rail, Burris signature Zee rings with a Sightron 3.5-10 X 44IR (without the IR it’d be very limited for me in lowlight and hunting on woods etc).

I fitted some flush cups for side carry, got a single neverlost sling and also a backpack type sling for when thing a get vertical.

3 shots from
Cold bore to dead centre. Only got it with 24 hours before the end of the season due to needless delays and BS
So never got on a deer.

Have goats for the summer.

Just to mention, my 77 year old father found it a lovely gun to walk out with for a few hours.
I didn’t have the heart to tell him “it’s too heavy for stalking:hunting”

When I took off the Hogue stock, previous owner had used epoxy to stiffen the forened, but left a high spot that was rubbing the barrel. I’m sure at that stage they fully convinced themselves the gun was for the bin. One thing I learned from here and the books is every detail must be correct before you move to the next step.

Thanks to Nathan and everyone else for here, the books and this discussion forum.
