    You can then bed the action and change the trigger yourself.

    I would also get the GS to thread it for a suppressor....but that is me.
    The 5R Gen II come threaded and cerakoted.

      APR does amazing work for the price. There are also a lot of cheap, accurate rifles these days that can be upgraded over time.
      Well let me give you background about me.. I’m no expert marksman but I can shoot okay but with anything I do I enjoy quality. So I would like something of quality that I have no excuse but hey it was me. I have a nice rifle for the price but nothing fancy. I have never had high dollar optics( have a Leopold vx2) but my next rifle will be A.something lighter on my shoulder. B. Something of quality. And C. With quality optics.

            I’m gonna go with he new fad and say 6.5 creedmoore. But they seem empressive from what I have seen as far as lighter recoils calibers go. Not stuck on that though

              Don’t overlook the Remington 700 5R Gen 2 in 260 Remington. I have 4 of the 5R rifles and they are all shooters.

So my question is does anyone have a good website that has good info about how it’s done? What tools do you really need when buying quality parts? I have built 2 ARS and it was quite simple with instructions. I’m thinking about going with a 6.5 Creedmoor because it will be used for deer\hogs and I don’t enjoy shooting my 30-06. So looking for a good round that I will enjoy shooting. Any other opinions would be appreciated.

                Dont overlook the 7mm08

                I built one a few years back and I love it. Tack driver.
                Brand new Remmy 700 action, HS Precision stock, Vortex scope, a good trigger, I used a standard stock barrel thinking I would buy a custom barrel, but this one shoots so good I kept it. Custom strap being made by a TBHer and she will be complete

                        That’s with a custom action not a rem700. This is a rem700 action

                          With custom loads there is no kick at all. Is loud as all get out but no kick. I will say the 7 mag is also very heavy which takes some of the recoil.

                            Heavy 7 mag with a break loaded to 7-08 velocity.

                            No recoil makes sense

                              What’s the point in having a 7 Mag if you’re gonna do that.

                              Can you even safely load it that low?

                                Sendero is still about $800 cheaper.

                                He stated you could get it for the same price.
