Hi, I was just perusing the morning articles as part of my morning routine and I came across this listing. If you end up having issues finding this, let me know. I'm a manufacturer and gunsmith and I have all of the parts to put a heavy barrel .308 together, as a matter of fact I've been wanting to do it for myself for some time. The only issue is, I think the barrel is stainless so would have to cerakote. I could probably get you setup for under 1500 If you're not looking for precision, just more along the lines of a factory Remington 700, and I even cerakote it for ya. Let me know, like I said this post intrigued me. Check out Capers Precision Gun Works on YouTube.
