Rem 700ml builder recommendations

[jerry475]

Hello all I am looking for recommendation for a smith to build my rifle. Thanks for the help

How are you with tools?
They are easy to build.
The hardest part of building one is removing the old factory 700 ML barrel....seriously...

I am familiar with tools, any watchouts to be concerned about?

If you don't have the tools already and only plan on doing one build it will be worth your $$ to have Luke do your barreled action and ensure your first one is trouble free. You can do the stock work and save time waiting as well as sharpening your smithing skills. If you're gonna go mad like Earnhardt, you better get the tools.

Just take your time and do your home work price every part you need and tools to see if that what you what to pay then see what someone will do it for you. go here for your parts. most parts or just rem 700 center fire stock, trigger, scope mounts

I have never worked on a Remington, do you normally need heat to remove the factory barrel?

Nope, a good barrel vise and an action wrench have been all that is needed in my experience. Maybe a cheater bar on the action wrench or an occasional wack from a baseball bat on the wrench broke it free when sheer weight on the bar did not.

A center fire Savage is arguably one of the easiest to put together.  Luke sells a real easy bolt nose that goes to the existing bolt.  If I can install it anyone can...   

A vice and some other tools if you're careful can tighten a prefit Brux onto the action.
