I have an old Remington 700 that I am going to use to get my son a new shorter 223R tactical rifle.
The idea here is to take a budget 700 and use that baseline to build a match level / high end tactical gun but a lot more affordable than some other alternatives.
When I say tac driver I mean a real life consistent tact driver not just an internet tac driver. ..you know the internet.. where everything is possible! lol.
So I am looking at high end results w/o investing an eye. If folks are interested about the progression I will document more details of the project.
These are my requirements so this could be used later by him for competition in tactical matches or LR hunting if he wants.
A) Keep rifle in the 9lbs max fully loaded.
B) Match barrel 22" 1.75 or 1.8 twist. Barrel will be threaded with 5/8 for muzzle devices.
C) Must be able to produce simultanious groups of 1/2MOA or below, consistently. This means repeatable from a cold bore.
D) Will have MIL-STD-1913 rails for both optical mounts and forward hand-guard for a Harry's bi-pod or accessories.
E) Will have adjustable ergonomics for comb and LOP.
F) Will use AR15 magazines with same mag release type control and it will be able to use both standard AR15 mags and AR15 VLD magazines of 2.5 Max
COAL not available with other rifles.
