I like it, now cough up that parts list.
I'm going to need to see how it shoots. . . I have a rather hohum Rem 700 SA that's just asking for a Remage aftermarket barrel.
This thread is very useful to those wanting to build, not buy, a personalized precision rifle. Thanks for taking the time to do these postings as a lot of folks don't really consider what goes into selecting the components and have problems visualizing how it all comes together as a project.Will probably take a while. Brass are out of stock at the moment and I don't have the reloading dies yet. Also still not decided on what trigger to buy.

I have built a 6mmBR on a Rem700 twice and once on a Sav 99.
One Rem 700 was with a sniper stock and Krieger bull barrel... very heavy
The other Rem 700 was with a Bansner stock and pacnor barrel... light as I could make it.
None were as fancy as yours.
And my pics are not as good either.
thats a very well put together rifle!
I like the media blasted gray look, id probably do the receiver as well, but if you dont than polishing out the barrel with 320 should produce a look similar to your reciever.
Just watched the video, he makes the installation look easy. I have wondered though, how do you get the barrel markings (eg calibre) to line up with the receiver while maintaining headspace? Surely the barrel OEM cannot do this since receivers will have slightly different tolerances.
How do you like 6mm BR?
Looking at the bolt the OP has bought the firing pin hole does look a little smaller than the standard Rem700 bolt. I had the same problem with my 6.5x47 Lapua build but I had a gunsmith bush the bolt to 0.062" and turn down the firing pin to 0.060". I no longer get any primer cratering with magnum CCI primers, CCI-450. I haven't tried normal small rifle primers yet.I love the 6mmBR.
1) I like the small primer pocket... that makes the CCI 550 small magnum rifle primer be the weak spot in a load work up. But if you have primers with holes in them, be prepared to take the Rem700 bolt apart to remove a handful of brass divots.
2) I like the quality of the brass from Lapua or RP.... this makes the 6mmBR the most accurate rifles I have ever shot.
