dear sir,
i’m impressed by the outlook of this tube gun kit.when I read the article by Mr. German A. salazar, he mention that he used Serengeti 30-06 reamer, print no.9685, from pacific Tool & Gauge. he mentioned that the serengeti has a 1.5 degree leade angle like a .308 as opposed to the 30-06’s tradisional 3 degree leade.he said that he believe this change is an important factor in getting the best accuracy from a 30-06.
I tried to look for the reamer from pacific tool website, but couldn’t find it anywhere. so please anyone can help me to find this Serengeti reamer mentioned by Mr. German A. Salazar ?.
also, can anyone refer me to websites that give information in detail about 30-06?. ( i like shooting with 30-06 in my country and try to improve my remington 700 accuracy).
thank you for your attention sir.

I’m working on a Gun of the Week article about the rifle which will include a lot more details and will be right on this site, of course. While the initial intent of the rifle is the tactical market, mine (which is the one in the pictures) is built as an NRA match rifle. So far it’s been great, I’ve only shot it at 800 yards, but within the next couple of weeks that will change as I’ll get some 600 and 1000 yard shooting done with it.

The RT10 accommodates the Remington 700 Long Action, and the magazines provided are Trexler type, modified with a hole to engage the magazine release. One magazine is provided with the rifle, and add’l mags are available for $50 each. Overall, it looks like a very good piece of gear. I have one, yet to be built, but we’re leaning towards a .284 like a friend of ours just completed. The other thing Gary furnishes with the stock kit is a do-it-yourself bolt knob, which entails grinding down the factory knob and then gluing on the replacement.

I’d appreciate some details, like which action does it take (obviously Rem?) and which magazine does it use (AI type, proprietary, ??). Couldn’t find these details at CSS website, either…
