WTB Remington 700 .308 or 7mm-08 for test project

[KJH]

I've been trying to start a "prototype" project and need a used Remington 700 in .308 or 7mm-08. I've been thinking I'd come across one in the last few months but haven't found what I needed so I'm posting here. It doesn't matter what shape its in as long as its usable. Wood stock is fine. I don't care if its beat up, a bit rusty, ugly, etc. I don't care what type of magazine or floor plate it has or what the base metal is. Barrel length or optics are not important. It just has to be complete, have a stock and be functional.

Since its ultimately going to get ruined before I'm finished, I don't want anything really pricey. So if you have one sitting in the closet or your garage that you don't use or one that you could never get accurate, let me know what you have. I'm an FFL so shipping to me will be easy.

I don't have what you're looking for. But I'm interested about what this project might be...

Its three projects really... the first is a new concept for integral muzzle break that is built into an existing barrel. Then i want to test it at every half inch of barrel so I'll be cutting it down all the way to 12" in length to get some fps data. Then I have a plan an engineer helped me put together that he thinks can take almost exactly half of the weight out of a action. So it will get hacked up to see how far we can take it down before it is unuseable/unsafe. When I'm done the trigger, bolt, and stock will be all thats left.
