R700 Bolt Fluting "Group Buy" on SnipersHide

[ffRich54]

Doug did the trigger on my 700 PSS and it is one of the best triggers I have ever felt.

After shooting the Shilen 700 and my buddies GAP's the stock guns just don't feel right.

Second on CJ working on one of my actions... I now have six 700's one was completely done by Shilen and I am looking to eventually have them all gone through.

I really recommend you lap the bolt and set your action yourself. It really is not that difficult and there are some great articles on snipershide that will teach you everything you need to know so you can do it yourself.

Oh im all for doing it myself, I assumed blueprinting was done on a lathe. I'll look around on the hide and see what I can find, I might need to bounce some questions off you when the time comes if that's alright.

How would you rate the difficulty of doing this?

I'm waiting for this.

Edit: CJ, do you ever do anything like that for other people? Ive got a Rem. 700 that I think needs to be blueprinted. Ive seen the other work you do and it is top notch.

Normally he charges $100 plus, most places I've found want about the same.

I actually sent a bolt out to another vendor on the Hide to have a knob installed, the bolt handle secured and bolt fluted and bolt fluted. The vendor had my bolt for three months and only installed the knob and secured the handle.

All the bolts I've sent to Long Rifles have been done and back to me in a week for less money and the work & customer service has been excellent.

I'm gonna buy another 700 just so I can have him do another one.

I prefer to do my own actions. Not a bad price for bolt work.

Hmm, Rich what is the regular rate for this? Thinking I should do it on my Rem 600.

[03trubluGT]

Nah, I mix them around to keep everyone on their toes.....

I was hoping you could find the humor in that.

[ffRich54]

I sure hope you kept track of which bolt came out of which gun...

Just got my bolts back. Now just have to get them ceracoated.

Just got two more bolts done by Long Rifles Inc. Had them do a bolt knob on the long action bolt as I didn't already have a badger on it.

Yes, I have three 700's. I have two .308's and one .223. Think I may get another in 300 WM. I have multiples of most of my guns as my son hunts and shoots with me and he's spoiled.

no doubt he's spoiled.
kid might not have shit for work ethic getting everything he wants, but the fuck if he can't shoot great!
j/k man. that's cool you teach the kid shooting skills, more power to you!

Keep it

It has a 300 Win Mag Barrel on it right now and I have no use for that type of barrel. so thinking of maybe selling the barrel and getting a .308 barrel and seeing how it works out for me.
