After reading about all these awesome guns, I started my build. I had a converted apex but wanted more power. I had richard build me a lite weight dream. Started with a stainless rem 700 ml and them added a bell and carlsen stock, pac nor sendaro barrel and lukes goodies. Richard did all the bedding and trigger work and head spacing perfectly. A vortex viper hs 2.5x10x44 with taley one piece mounts. The gun weighs a total of 8lbs 14 ounces. The first week out shooting sabots was good, but not good enough.(under a inch three shot groups). This week I took barnes 195 and knurled them up .002 and put them in light blue sabots. Then I ran the whole sabot and bullet thru my sizing die to get better bullet to sabot contact. it worked awesome, three shot group of .457 at 75 yards. By doing this, I shrank my groups by half from the week before. SSt 200 closed up a little to .600 groups. Pics to follow

Your gun sounds excellent. Richard does good work which is evident from all of his builds posted. Maybe some time you'll try some sabotless loads and see how that goes for you. That gun should be no less than MOA at 300yd with the right combo. Luke has some convenient inventory.
Any pics of your new gun??

Nice looking gun and great shooting. Richard is a great guy and can put together a nice build. Not a bad car pool partner either!

What B&C stock did you use? I'm looking at a 700 ML build. Thanks.

What B&C stock did you use? I'm looking at a 700 ML build. Thanks. I think that's the 2949 (LVSF). It's barely got enough forend for a true Sendero. A modified sendero gets extremely tight.
