Frequently Asked Questions

What caused the 'Remington 700 From Hell' project to be necessary?

The project became necessary because the original factory barrel on the Remington 700 AAC-SD was found to be severely out of alignment with the action after only 250 rounds, rendering it inaccurate and requiring a complete custom rebuild.

What are the key components of the custom Remington 700 build?

The custom build features a 20-inch Criterion 'Remage' barrel, a trued action, PT&G one-piece bolt, Jewell trigger, KRG Whiskey-3 chassis, and a Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x50 optic.

How does the KGM R30 suppressor affect the rifle's performance?

The KGM R30 titanium suppressor, equipped with the APEC system, significantly reduces recoil and muzzle blast. It also minimizes point-of-impact shift, allowing the shooter to more easily spot their own shots through the optic.

What are the long-range limitations of the .308 Winchester caliber?

The .308 Winchester caliber begins to 'fall apart' ballistically past 600-800 yards. While capable at closer ranges, cartridges like 6.5 Creedmoor offer superior performance and ballistic efficiency at extreme distances.
