And a Super Sniper scope.....
I think we can all guess the parts used. LOL Anyways, your rifle looks great. You will have to let us know how it shoots.

yep it's just a plain jane 700p barreled action plopped into a A4 stock, badger mount and rings and super sniper.

the stock was my first time using duracoat, the stuff is pretty fun to use:)

Very nice! You did a great job. How about a range report?

yes nate it's a 26 incher i think it's the slight angle that makes it look shorter.

and i'll see if i can head out sometime this week to sight it in.

nice rifle, and nice groupings. although, you can't really say it's a m40 without having at least a m40countour barrel, but still a nice looking rifle.

what are the specs for a REAL m-40a3?

Here you go:

M40A3

"Caliber 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Win)
Length 44.25" (1124mm)
Weight 16.5 lbs (7.5 kg)
Barrel Schneider Match Grade SS #7
Barrel Length 24 inches (610mm)
Trigger Weight 3 to 5 pounds
Magazine Capacity 5 rounds
Sight Unertl 10x with Mil-Dots and BDC
Stock McMillan Tactical A4
Max Effective Range 1000 yards (915 meters)

In 1996 the USMC started on the design for the replacement of the M40A1, the result was the M40A3. It uses a remington 700 short action, with a steel floorplate assembly and trigger guard built by D.D. Ross. The Unertl rings and bases have been replaced with D.D. Ross base and G&G Machine rings. The rifles also come with a harris bipod and an accessory rail, also built by G&G Machine. The stock is a new McMillan A4, with adjustable cheek and length of pull."

My brother has an M40A(something). Didn't know it looked like that, thats badass. My brother is in Afghanistan and is the 4th best shooter on the Bagram Air Force base. I guess they had a sniper competition and a SEAL and 2 Marine Snipers beat him. Hes in the 82nd Airbourne(Army)
