Default R700 build is nearly complete

So as some of you may know, i've been building a new R700, and it has finally come together. Some gun porn below!





Gonna take a trip out to the crown tomorrow and throw some lead down range with it, hopefully after all that my aim is actually worth a damn

Still looking into a new trigger at the moment!

Triad tactical stock bag. It has extensions to fit adjustable cheek welds.

I think you misunderstood. I was asking about the case the rifle is in. It looks like one I may want

Vism double rifle case. It sucks! The MOLLE in it is already coming off after one hike. I will be getting an eagle sniper pack or a pelican 1750 soon. Look into 5.11 Tactical bags, much better built, same style.

Seems you other love them or hate them. Back when I was a wee little boy I played my share of counter-strike and grew a love for the AI AWP, so when I found out I could get the same chasis for my R700 I was quite excited. The second it hit my hands I knew I loved it. It is very very firm and strong.

Check out Eberlestock products they offer a "sniper sled" soft case similar to what you have in the pic. I have one of their hunting backpacks and it is very well built. Your rig looks great!

Can you get an AI chassis for a different kind of action? The one I was playing with a few weeks back was an R700 and every one I see on the internet is R700.. but what if you wanted one with a Mauser action?

All R700 to my knowledge. Might be able to with the AICS AX chasis though.

Good find, pricey, but they look very nice! I see 911 has 20% off 5.11 tactical products right now too!

Stock, Timney trigger, glass, muzzle brake (added now) Thats all I can afford for now, I'd like a new Rock Creek barrel on there at some point, but the Remington one will suffice for a wile.
