BUILD REMINGTON 700 SNIPER RIFLE | BUILD REMINGTON 700

 “BUILD REMINGTON 700 SNIPER RIFLE” – This page originally started life as an actual website project titled “Build Remington 700 Sniper Rifle“. I was about to start ordering the parts when I stumbled across a complete rifle, a  Remington 700 XCR Tactical Long Range 84462 which is a specific Remington 700 that I have wanted for some time. The purchase of that rifle makes the idea of spending a lot of money on something along the lines of a Remington M24 less interesting at this time. This page is now a theoretical build.

All is not lost though. The Remington 700 Police 5R .308 Barreled Action listed below is still inbound for yet another project.

Lastly the blue links as always will take you to the vendor or manufacturers website where I specified and would have ordered the parts.

H-S Precision PST025 Rifle Stock

The is the same rifle stock the United Stated Military utilizes on the Remington M24A2 SNIPER RIFLE. The results speak for themselves.

Remington’s M-24 Sniper Weapon System is the finest long-range system available today. It delivers multiple-shot capacity with match rifle accuracy at extended ranges. In addition to the M24’s unsurpassed accuracy, it also offers reliability and durability under the harshest conditions of combat use and transportation.

Designed for and used by the United States Military, the M24’s popularity also stretches from SWAT teams nationwide to International Military and Government agencies. Based on Remington’s legendary Model 700™ and 40-X™ rifles, famous for their “out of the box” accuracy, the M24 has quickly gained a reputation for precision among the sniper system community. An essential element in the M-24’s accuracy is its H-S Precision® aramid fiber-reinforced, fiberglass stock with an aluminum bedding block, is utilized for exceptional strength and dimensional stability in all weather conditions.

The H-S Precision PST025 Rifle Stock was designed for police departments and law enforcement agencies. Stock is instantly and fully adjustable (no tools required) for length of pull and drop at comb. Plus, the hand filling, vertical grip and adjustable headpiece are ambidextrous for both right- and left-handed shooters. Machined aluminum bedding block runs from near the front swivel mount all the way back, into the pistol grip so no additional bedding is needed for superi­or accuracy. Kevlar/graphite-reinforced fiberglass provides stability and strength for a zero that never shifts due to changes in temperature or humidity. Barrel channel is relieved for straight contour, bull-style, heavy barrels up to 1.250″ in ­diameter. Available in Flat Black or Sand.

My first exposure to the MDT AICS Style 10RD 308 Polymer Magazines came by way of my MDT TAC21 20 inch Suppressed Modular Rifle project at sister website Modular Rifle. These magazines are a bargain compared to authentic AICS magazines.

Badger Ordnance Maximized Scope Base

Badger Ordnance makes premium Remington 700 hardware and the Badger Ordnance Maximized Scope Bases are no exception. The real decision to be made is whether to go with zero cant (0 MOA) or 20 MOA. The 20 MOA is necessary for extreme long range shooting. My maximum shooting distance is about 600 yards. I will probably choose the zero cant. If I was making a 300 win mag sniper rifle I would without hesitation select the 20 MOA base. Note: This build requires the short action version of the Badger Ordnance Scope Base. My selection is Badger Ordnance model number 306-06F

Badger Ordnance Unimount 306-62

The Badger Ordnance Medium Unimounts 306-62 are light weight due to both design and materials. By removing material without compromising strength and rigidity, the Unimount is an unparalleled scope mounting option. Billet machined from 6061 T6 Aluminum and Mil Spec Type III Hardcoat Anodized.

These one-piece scope mounts from Badger Ordnance provide a rock-solid mount for scopes with 34mm tubes. Their monolithic construction withstands harsh recoil, and makes for easy mounting onto any Picatinny receiver rail. Available in two heights, both measured from bottom of mount to center of optic. 1.3″ height has built-in 20 MOA elevation. 1.49″ height has no MOA. Rings secure with 4 Torx® head screws each. Reducer rings, available separately, allow use on 30mm scope tubes. Includes installation wrench.

How to Calculate Scope Ring Height

[rail height + ring height] – [bell diameter x 0.5]  If the value is positive, then your bell will clear the barrel. Optimally, you want that bell to be about 1/4″ or less over the barrel. This will give you a tight cheek weld and provide for more precise trajectory. Be sure to account for scope caps if you intend on using them.
