Anyone own a Rem 700 Long Range .30-06?

[Bhobbs]

I just saw that Remington finally started building a heavy barrel .30-06. It's the Long Range model with the 26" varmint barrel and B&C M40 stock. I was considering selling my SPS in .30-06 and picking one up. Anyone own one? How is the M40 stock? Can it be inletted for a detachable mag bottom metal?

It's model number 84166 for those interested.

It's probably too new to be in wide enough circulation.
It can certainly be inletted for bottom metal.

I think they came out early this year. I was calling around to some local shops to find one but all the shops pulled their 700s to ship them back for the recall.

Thats a pretty slick looking rifle. It woukd be easy to build one just like it assuming you dont find a factory one.

This is the only model that Remington makes with a heavy barrel chambered in .30-06. I would have to find a .308 varmint barrel, re-chamber it to .30-06 and have it put on a donor action. At that point I would just do a custom build. I can't afford that right now so the Long Range in .30-06 works until I can.

That's a nice rifle right there.

Well, you could put your purse between the stock and your shoulder so it won't hurt so much.

If your going with a LA build, have you considered other calibers for long range work?

I'm not building a rifle. This is a factory rifle that I want to buy.

I would probably stick with .30-06. It may not set the world on fire but it has good ballistics and good barrel life. I don't compete, yet, so it works for me.

I load the 208 A max and 215 hybrid in the SPS, which is way lighter. I plan on having Randall thread the barrel for a brake anyways.

Hahaha was just giving advice , I love it but my friend that was a LAPD sniper said he didn't like the recoil, to much compared to his work piece.
