A couple of years ago I rebarreled my Rem 722 to 223. After initial testing I seem to have lost interest. I've finally accepted that I don't really have a desire to play with jacketed bullets and rifle powders. In fact, I really don't have a lot of rifle powders around, and what I do have I would like to conserve. However, I do have plenty of pistol powders and 30 caliber molds. So a 300BO bolt gun makes a lot of sense for me.
Last fall I ordered a chamber reamer from the Ukraine and I already had a 19" raw blank from Green Mountan. I started on turning the blank just after Christmas.
Instead of starting out by offsetting the tailstock I decided to take off most of the material by making stepped cuts. After most of the material was off, I could decide if I wanted to offset the tailstock or if I could just blend from where I was.
