bonanza,

Thanks for the supporting words!

I believe there aren't that many .400 H&H's around. I think CH-4D is the only source for dies at the moment and their first responce to my request for the availability was that, "there should be a few left. Wi made 10 sets few years ago and the demand hasn't been that high."

Your project sounds great too. I also like Remingtons earlier 700 actions a lot and from the rifle building point of view they are great.

Today I took measurements from the barrel for the sights and barrel band sling swivel stud. I ended up choosing the parts from Recknagel as they offer quite nice selection. The front sight is H&H style with smaller and bigger silver dot. Rear sight is island rear with single leaf. I also ordered the rear sling swivel stud that is to be mounted on stock with two screws.
