Hey there,
Going to be building a 6x45mm off a Remington 700. Looking for some advice on it. It's going to be a barrel nut set up, with plans of using it as a back up coyote gun and first deer rifle for the kids.
Two girls ages 6 and 8, they just decided they want to start shooting and hunting. I came into their lives a bit later on, so I didn't want to press to much for them to follow in my footsteps unless they wanted to. New one is being born end of next month, and she will be shooting at an early age.
I haven't set any rifles up for kiddos, do it's all new to me. I plan on using it some myself for closer coyotes also. I have take off parts from my SPS Tactical that I will be using. I have a 223 ADL coming my way that will be the base of this build.
I'm wanting 20" barrel, finished around .680-.700 at the barrel, no brake. Plan on it being a little heavy barrel, the Hogue Overmold stock from the SPS Tactical is for a heavy barrel. I'm thinking an 8 twist, so I can shoot what I want in it. I do have 55 to 105gr 243 bullets, would like to be able to shoot most.
Stock will be the Hogue Overmold that came off my SPS, which is heavy barrel profile. Bottom metal will come from the same, will be looking to see if I need to upgrade to standard 308 or similar if I need to load long.
I know I'll need a longer eye relief scope to make up for the standard length of pull and smaller frame of the girls I have at present.
What am I missing? Thanks all
