Remington Performance
Package
Aquila now offers a tune up package for Remington 700 rifles.
Remington makes a great rifle and it’s also a great rifle to perform
custom work on because of the number of after market parts are
virtually unlimited, not to mention that it’s well designed.
The aftermarket parts market is
important when building a rifle. Little things like the unlimited
quantity and configurations of rings and bases, firing pins,
triggers and stocks are important to perfectly fit a rifle to the
shooter.
This package also give the
shooter the confidence that their rifle is in good working order
with no hidden problems.
Recrown the barrel
This is an extremely important
part of the barrel. If not done exactly true with the bore, one
side of the bullet will leave the barrel before the other, causing
it to be slightly deflected and in turn, an inaccurate rifle. This
is also a tricky machining set up that if not done correctly, it may
make things worse.
Head
Spacing
The head spacing is checked to
be sure it’s with in tolerances. If it’s not, Aquila can correct it
but it will require the removal of the barrel to remachine the
shoulder. It is an additional $125.00
Stock
Work
Wood stocks are pillar bedded
and the barrel is free floated. If it’s an H-S Precision stock, on
most Senderos, the lug area is bedded and the barrel is free
floated. The receiver screws are torqued to exact tolerances. We
have seen instances where a bedding job and proper stock screw toque
tightened the groups by as much as 1”.

Trigger
job
A bad trigger pull is a definite
group killer. Aquila no longer works on factory triggers. We
replace the factory with a Timminey trigger, which has a wide
adjustment range and is far superior to the factory trigger.
Light
Firing Pin and Spring
The amount of time it takes:
from the time you pull the trigger, till the moment the bullet
ignites is called lock time. A shortened lock time does not make a
rifle more accurate, it allows the shooter to shoot more
accurately. Any movement during this time causes the point of aim
to change and this option reduces the issue.
Lapped
Scope Rings
Scope rings are lapped to ensure
a good tight fit, which eliminates the possibility of scope movement
during recoil. Many accuracy issues have been traced back to
improperly mounted optics.
Muzzle
Brake
A secret about muzzle brakes,
most brakes on the market work fine. We feel that our 4th
generation brakes work great due to a unique interior design that is
engineered to take full advantage of expanding gasses to reduce the
recoil and not effect accuracy.
After we install our brake,
there is no visible seam between the barrel and the brake. The
brake appears to be part of the barrel and is made from quality 416
stainless steel, to exact tolerances.
Note:
If a brake is installed on a blued rifle, the barreled action will
be refinished in Duracoat. The brake and refinishing for a blued
rifle is $200.00 The remaining steel parts can be refinished too
fro an additional $50.00.
Extended Bolt Handle and
Badger Knob
Not only does this add a “cool”
look to your rifle but it also aids in the ease cocking. A longer
bolt handle adds leverage and actually reduces the effort in cocking
the rifle.
Custom Etching
This is always a nice custom
addition to a rifle. Stainless is electro etched and blued steel is
etched in the tradition manner. We will son have laser engraving
available.
This is a basic package that will
add accuracy and reliability to your rifle. It has more
enhancements than some custom rifles on the market and at a
reasonable price. If you have a rifle with a plastic stock, a wood
or synthetic stock can be purchased through Aquila. The plastic
stocks are very difficult to impossible to properly bed and are not
suited for these tuning packages.
