We settled on a Remington 700 short action, Timney trigger, 40moa base, high end tactical rings, MDT chassis system, Leupold Mark4 4.5-14 scope, PWS brake, AI magazines, and a custom one off Cerakote finish. So now we have a plan, the parts, and the tools needed. After a ton of machining and hand work hours we finished the rifle.
Test firing went extremely well... 4 rounds, 1 round each from 4 different shooters, at 25 yards (that's as far as we can shoot in our indoor range) went into the same hole! Did I mention... No recoil.
