Remington 700 gunsmithing question

(1/3) > >>

Xdmshooter:
Hello all. I have question for you all.

I want to replace my Remington 700 barrel (in 7mm Mag) with a new barrel in (7mm Mag). Does anyone have any experience with a qualified gunsmith that would be able to do this task. Also, what can I look at for the cost of the service (minus the cost of the barrel). I would perfer local (Eastern NE/West IA), but I can send the rifle anywhere.

Along the lines of a barrel... any suggestions for a barrel maker.

Mudinyeri:
Are you purchasing just a barrel or barreled action?

Here's a good video on a complete tear-down of a 700:

If you're not purchasing a barreled action you'll need the barrel vise and wrench.  Sorry, I don't know of any local gunsmiths.

Run N Iron in Bertrand http://www.runniron.com/ and Frerking http://fcwguns.com/ in Cortland are two that I know of.  I have no experience with either one, though.

I have the whole rifle, barreled action and all. I have had the rifle for 20+ years.nit use to shoot 1/2 MOA, now it shoots 6 MOA. I have free floated the barrel, replaced the scope, mounts, cleaned to the Nth degree and I can't get it to shoot better.  I an down to replacing the barrel.

SIX MOA?! How many rounds have you put through it?  Any pattern to the rounds?
