This season after talking with some friends and assessing my rifle stash I realized that I have a lot calibers that do the same things but I had an issue. All my rifles are “pretty” guns. Wood or laminate stocked guns that I’m honestly scared to tote around for fear of blemishing them or introducing them to the elements.
I’ve wanted a custom forever and always talk myself out of it in some way or another. Oddly enough I found a Mcmillan Remington Classic Stock for a decent deal and took the plunge.
I took inventory, realized I have some hunting and fishing gear I can move and yesterday went to talk with my local builder. I’ll be working with Crossroads Precision Rifles out of Victoria. Keeping this local was important to me and Russell has always been very helpful and a great guy to deal with.
Instead of building off of one of the BDL’s I currently have I decided to offload and go with a custom action.
Here’s where we’re at.
Action: Defiance Tenacity long action w/ black nitride coating
Barrel: Bartlien 7mm barrel 1 in 8.7 twist 2B contour
Trigger: Triggertech (model not certain yet)
Bottom metal: Remington BDL (if I can find it) or Hawkins BDL style (if it fits the stock)
Stock: McMillan Remington Classic Hunter (60:40) black/grey marble
Caliber: 280ai
The stock should show up in the next day or two and I’ll get pics posted as we go.
The barrel and action are also on order.
