Thanks Geargrinder, I picked up a milling bit today and will set the drill press up tomorrow for the cut. Your right it does not look hard at all. I marked the tang tonight.

Guys, Need to find a gunsmith that could re-barrel my Remington 722. The gun has a 257 barrel on it now and I would like to put a 7mm-08 Remington barrel on it. I also need the rear tang cut for a 700 trigger safety. Just looking for a reasonable price I can afford. Retired from fire department...

FearNowind, Wish I lived in you area, I'd own all the 721 and 722. Sold the Browning today to a friend. Dosh, Will get some up tomorrow pal. Thanks Its a really a nice rifle and I've seen a couple on gun broker for around 600. But I need some of you guys to give me a good...

Guys, Getting ready to sell a couple of my older rifles and wanted to see what some of you thought they may be worth, just a ball park figure. 1. 1970 Browning BAR in 308, 85-90%, scrolling on side, and very accurate for a semi auto. 2. 19? Remington 722 in 257 Roberts setting in a...

Thanks again Geargrinder, I may go the file route but not the dremel. I thought I might get a vise for the drill press and get a metal grinder bit. I would really like it done by someone who knows their way around a milling machine. Engineer, the gun is very nice and shoots very well...

Catahoula, I live in Biloxi, Ms. Thanks for the reply. Gear Grinder, thanks

Guys, I need some help with this 722 and the safety. I bought this 722 and the last owner broke the safety off, I put a new Remington trigger in it and found out real quick they don't fit without some type of relieve cut on the tang, I'm sure this is how he broke it off. The 257 shoots very...

I think I'm going 22" Shilen barrel and timiney trigger in a Bell &Carlson stock. I like the splat factor with the 70 grain Kings.

Great info guys, well needed for me.

Thanks for the info, I know the long barrel is the way to go but I wanted something compact. I will look for someone to re-barrel it for me. Trying to decide on a barrel maker, that will be a chore I'm sure, there are just a few. Never thought about the blue printing, but your right, I will have...

The gun is a typical 700 sporter 22" barrel that I want re-barreled, walks are not far from logging roads and its pretty much open up to around 300 yards. I've had this gun for 25 years and it was never a shooter so to speak. 1.5-2.0 at 100 and 3.0 at 200. Yes I've hunted coyote before but in...

Good evening all, new to the site and would like some help in setting up my old 6mm Remington 700 for coyotes. Question is what barrel length, twist, and bullet size. We have a lot of these on our lease and no one will take the time to shoot them. The 6mm is the smallest rifle I have to build...
