Does the cabelas 209 conversion kit keep the flash down in the bolt area better than the remington 209 kit? And is it easier to pull the primer out after the shot?

A big YES! to both questions - it is a much better conversion than the Remington... + it is really easy to make a weather shield from a 20 guage shotgun hull that will provide extra protection to the scope.

Even with the Cabelas conversion there still will be some blowback..

I tried your weather shield and it looks like it will work. I'm going to try the conversion kit next Thanks I tried to post pics through photobucket but it won't work

When you cut the wad - you need to cut it right next to the metal and that is the end that needs to go on the bolt.

That is where my pic came from Photobucket...

I go two of them to post... I think... they might be to large (pixels)...

Dang! that is a nice looking gun - the Rem 700ML is my favorite...

This shotgun wad weather shield will work very well with the Cabelas conversion - there might be to much blow back with the Remington conversion...

Have to cheat the system a bit

Sweet little invention there!!:)

RE: Remington 700ml users
 

Both my Remingtons came with factory weather sheilds. Maybe they were both early models?
That is a nice TH stock. I had some one ask once if they came with a wood stock? I didn't ever hear of one and supposed you had bought a custom stock to work on yours.
My 54 cal Remington is my favorite right now, it has the Cabelas system 209.

I love thet thumbhole stock!! Where did u find that jewel. If i had that on the Rem I would use it even more.

RE: Sabotloader
 

I used to own a Rem 700- one thing for sure they do shoot. That is a nice looking stock.

RE: Remington 700ml users
 

The stock is a Rhichards micro fit, they make them just for the rem 700ml and in different colors too.

I found those stocks. looks like I might have a late winter project. Mt 700 is blue but I would like to find a SS one. I like the Camo Laminate like you have. You are a wealth of information.

That appears to be the "Camouflage" stock correct?-and it looks better on your 700MLthan the site. I was looking at getting one of their stocks a couple months ago and talked myself out of it... maybe I'll have to reconsider that decision. I think I want the "Imperial Laminate" though. Nonetheless, that's bee-u-tee-FULL!

RE: Remington 700ml users
 

I think I will probably go with the Grey laminate thumbhole since my 700 is blue. But I still like the camo laminate I am just not sure how it would look with a blued rifle. Tough choice.
