This video details the meticulous process of building a 'nearly perfect' safari rifle, emphasizing accuracy through advanced gunsmithing techniques. Key steps include blueprinting the Remington 700 action, installing a Shilen barrel and adjustable trigger, custom stock shaping with glass bedding and pillars, and free-floating the barrel. The result is a .375 caliber rifle capable of sub-MOA accuracy at 200 yards.

Brownells partners with Shilen to produce high-quality rifle barrels using a cold-forming process with carbide dies, resulting in 8 lands and grooves. These barrels undergo rigorous inspection, including air gauging to 5/100,000ths of an inch and bore scope checks, ensuring tight tolerances for superior performance in custom builds. Available in chrome moly or stainless steel, they are made in the USA and backed by Brownells' lifetime guarantee.

This video details a highly customized Ruger 10/22 build focused on competition accuracy. Key modifications include an MOA stainless steel receiver, a Shilen bull barrel threaded directly into the receiver, and a Kidd two-stage trigger. The bolt was trued by CPC, and a lightweight charging handle was added to improve cycling with light target loads. The build is finished with a black Duracoat and features a Leupold VX-2 scope.
