My 300 PRC Project

[markg]

Well I decided to jump on the bandwagon and build a 300 PRC. I will try and share what I learn along the way with everyone on AO. I asked a bunch of questions but it seemed like no one else on here has built or bought a 300 PRC. I guess I will be the Guinea Pig.

I went with a Rem 700 Stainless LA Magnum as the action for the build. It will be going off to the smith hopefully next week to be chambered. Got the action at the Calgary Shooting Center.

I choose an International Barrels 26" 1/8 twist with 5R rifling in a Heavy Palma contour. I will be using the rifle for shooting mostly steel but some hunting. Seemed like a good choice, but in retrospect i maybe should have went 28". They were excellent to deal with had custom made the barrel and shipped it in less than 2 weeks! Ryan was great to deal with. Did I mention they are Canadian?

The stock is going to come in next week and its a KRG Bravo from Scott at Red Star Targets. I have bought a few things from Scott and he is a Top Shelf Dude. Cant say enough good things about doing business with him. He has helped me with some great advice along the way with this latest project. http://www.redstartarget.com

I got a bunch of the added accessories (mag, rail and others) from MDT and they have proven excellent to deal with as per usual. I am excited about trying there muzzle brake as I have heard great things about it. They're staff are very well trained and answered all of my questions. Turnaround time on the shipping of the gear was really fast too. Very Pleased.

I purchased the Ammo and Dies from Proline Shooting in Calgary. They were very helpful and got the ammo and the dies ordered and delivered in only a few days. Great Service.

Once the rifle is completed I will post some pics. I will try and break it in and post some pics of how she groups. Not sure if I will chrono the break in and sight in shots but I might. If I do I will post that info if anyone is interested.

Here is a video of the above mentioned stuff

I almost forgot, the smith doing the build will be Henry Rempel. He has built several rifles for me and I can not say enough good things about him. Every Rifle he has ever done for me has been spectacular. Always exceeds my expectations.
