Reply With QuoteSo thats Shilens 700 clone of the Savage action...I mean savage screw spacing, savage barrel threads, 700 mechanically? How much of the after market 700 parts fit?
Admittedly, I have more time to dream about calibers and ballistics than I do to actually go out and shoot. Because there's so many different calibers I want to build, and there's no way I'd be able to afford a new custom rifle for each one, I decided to make a really nice switch barrel set up that should last me years to come.
Shilen DGR Long Action Standard Bolt Face
Shilen 25-06 26" varmint barrel (2nd hand)
Unknown barrel nut (2nd hand)
Timney Calvin Elite Trigger
Remington PSS Stock (had to open up the barrel channel) (2nd hand)
Remington BDL bottom metal/spring/follower/box (2nd hand)
Talley rings
Sightron SIII 20x (good magnification and tons of travel) (2nd hand)
It's only a 25-06 for now because I had a 25 caliber void to fill. I also see a 284 win, and maybe a fast twist 220 swift in it's future. Overall it's a really solid set up. I'm looking forward to playing around with it.

Btw...nice build
The action is really a Stiller Predator with Savage Small Shank Threads and a bolt with a floating bolt head. Really it's a way to use all the Rem 700 aftermarket parts, with Savage Small Shank barrels.
I would really like to see how it shoots, as I am going to buy one of these very soon.
Very nice! I've been thinking about a build using one of these actions.
Great looking rifle. I put one together a couple years in 7mm STW- really a first rate action. You are really going to enjoy it.
