^ this!! 9 twist 4" box. Buy lots of powder and let her eat!!A RUM built with a 9 twist along with an action and mag box capable of a 4 inch round is the way to get max performance out of this round. I load mine with a COAL of 3.99 and seat 245 Bergers about .020 off the lands on top of N570. with a 25 inch barrel it gives almost 3000 fps (2996). Great perfomance out to 1000 yards farthest I have shot it so far.
My GS said, R700 actions keeps him gainfully employed.Absolutely zero negatives building on a trued REM 700, they are one of the best designs ever and why they are copied to the 'enth degree.
Done correctly, you will have a rifle that is just as good as any custom action.
Cheers.
Except for low resale, no integrated bases, no integrated recoil lug and won't accept prefits and that's after dumping a pile of cash into one getting it trued, the primary extraction fixed, milled to accept longer mag boxes, the optic base holes straightend and opened up to 8/40. You do all that and a 700 is almost a custom action and the 700 only cost slightly more.Absolutely zero negatives building on a trued REM 700, they are one of the best designs ever and why they are copied to the 'enth degree.
