The 700 got a face lift

Post by Iluv2hunt » Thu May 29, 2014 1:04 pm

I had been wanting to put in an after market trigger since Remington has always had an "issue" with the 700's. After this last recall (which mine was NOT part of), I definitely wanted a new trigger just for my peace of mind. Also, since he is doing Cerakote, I wanted to be a guinea pig. And since he had to take the scope and all off, I said go ahead and put me new scope mounts on
So here is the finished product...New timney trigger, new DNZ scope mounts, and burnt bronze Cerakote on barrel and action.


The pics do not do this color any justice. It is really cool looking in person.

I like it, it almost looks anodized. +2 on the DNZ mounts, I liked them so much on my Rem 7 that I put them on my ultraslug too

CeraKote is the shart!! I had a bunch of graphite black that was getting old so I used it to do the hood and roof on my Titan pickup that were getting surface rust spots.

the color looks very nice with the black stock
