Welp, all should be here in the next week or so. Went with the 700 single shot shorty and the RemAge barrel setup. That stock I pictured from Boyds earlier is indeed drilled and rigging up a retainer for it will be a breeze according to a buddy of mine. He did tell me to leave my dremel in the damn case and use my chisels. He said "no one will see it but you and I've seen your work with both...use the damn chisels"...Guess he means my dremel work sucks huh?

Going to make my own rod guide to put on the barrel once I get everything spun on and dialed in. Just don't know yet which way I will go with it. Wrap around or solder it on. Probably wrap around with some sort of epoxy that I can heat off if I need to. Did go ahead and go with 1:20 twist. I figure a well placed 300-350gr bullet with a MV of 2800fps will do the job I am looking for well enough out to 300 yards. I think I will go with a Nikon Monarch 3, 2.5-10x42 or I MIGHT go with a new Leupy if I can talk myself into it
