Anyone used a Remington 799 yet for a 30-221
I just got one of these little jewels and they are pretty much little mauser actions though the extractor is more like the SAKO according to the info on remingtons website. Doesn't seem to be a big deal though, the ejector is in the back of the receiver like a proper mauser so no issues with the button in the 700 if that is a problem. I'm waiting for reamer on this project which hopefully won't be long. I'll keep updates going. Rifle is a remington 799 in .223 originally. I already pulled the barrel and I've got a Pac Nor 1:7.5" 3 groove blank ready to go when the reamer arrives. I'm looking at a 16" barrel length just to avoid registration issues. I'm thinking I'll build the suppressor integral with the barrel and maybe do a tensioned barrel while I'm at it.
all for now
