A little over a year ago, I built an AR in .458 Socom. I have really enjoyed this caliber. I am planning a Bear Hunting trip in the fall of 2016, and I have decided to go to Canada. I really wanted to take my .458 Socom, but from what I can tell, I would not be able to take a semi auto rifle into Canada.
So, I could take my 12 gauge, or my Remington 700 in .308, or I could use this as a great excuse to build a Remington 700 in .458 Socom.
I ordered a barrel from SBR about 12 days ago. It arrived today.
SBR did a great job, and I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly it came. Tomorrow, I will be ordering the Remington 700 Action. I will likely have the barrel threaded. Once that is done and the barrel is mounted and headspace is good, then I will decide what stock I want. I'll post a picture or two as parts come in. I am really looking forward to this build!
