[QUOTE="Elite Muzzleloader, post: 1026079, member: 30759"] I feel bad taking over a different thread with pictures and felt I need to just start one on my Remington 700 ML Custom Built 45 smokeless. First I have posted some range reports and lately a harvest picture which I feel was loaded on a thread that I shouldn't have. So I will try to delete the photo and lighten up the thread. With that said I will give a little info on my sml. I started by buying a Remington 700 ml at a local pawn shop for $250 and then started putting pieces together to have it built to shoot smokeless. Sent action off to Luke at Arrowhead Sporting Goods he replaced the spring firing pin and bolt nose so that it would except 209 primers. Then he took the factory barrel off and installed a 25" McGowen barrel threaded to take the Savage Breech Plug. Once I got it back a friend glass bedded the rifle in a Boyds Laminate Wood Stock. I then topped it off with a Nikon Prostaff 5 XR 3.5-14x40 Custom Dial. I then got it dialed in at 200 yards and started to learn the MOA target knobs. I am still learning them but I have things figured out to about 400 yards. I keep changing things so everything else changes also including zero. Currently I am shooting the Hornady 250 SST @ 2800 f/s. I have shot over 200 rounds this year which might not be a lot but for me it is. I started trying to get the Parker Match Hunter 327 grain bullet (2550 f/s) dialed in but at $2.30 or so a pop I went to the 250 SST which are very accurate.
