Finished my RemPac build

[bigwoods]

Been buying pieces and parts for almost a year when I could afford it. It was a lot of reading and research along the way before getting the final product completed. I did most of the work other than any machining and screwing the barrel on. I have learned a lot and still have a lot to learn. I credit this sites knowledgeable members and the great info they provide for the success I have had so far. I used Karl Kampfelt for the bolt fluting and knob, Luke for the bolt nose and barrel purchase and Guppy to replace the barrel & headspace the breech plug. All are fine gentleman and big thanks to Guppy for bringing me into his shop and showing me how the process works. I think with an action wrench and barrel vise I could do my own from now on. Anyhow,here are the specs and a couple quick pics.


Remington 700ML SS action
PacNor SS Fluted .45 barrel 25"
Callahan recoil lug
Savage breech plug & Hunter bolt nose
B&C Varmint style BDL stock - Green with Black Web
Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad
EGW Picatinny Mount
Burris 6-hole Tacical Rings
Leupold Vx III 4.5-14x40

I will be starting out shooting a 10/50 duplex load of SR4759/IMR4198 over a 195gr Barnes and 200gr SSt's. Most of my shots will be 300 yards or less so right now I dont need to go sabotless. Maybe someday.

Very nice and you know it will shoot. Did you bed the stock?

Wow! Good lookin rig

[bigwoods]

I have not bedded the stock or base. Wanted to shoot it first (by recommendation) and see if it needs it. I know it is probably a good bet to do it anyhow. This stock has an aluminum bedding block that runs all the way to the front swivel. Hope it shoots as is.

Nice work!

Thanks guys. I learned a lot and had a good time through the process. I have stainless bottom metal coming yet and should be here next week. Now if the temp would get out of the single digits and the wind to lay down.
