[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1025821, member: 30743"] If I were going to rebarrel a remington M700 right now I'd get the barrel and send it to longrifles inc. for their barreling special that they're running on snipershide. They've got a group buy going and I've had one rifle barreled using it, a 6.5x47 lapua with a bartlein 5R barrel and it shoots amazing well. They've done kind of a production line setup on accurizing M700's using their CNC equipment and the results have been impressive. I've had several custom rifles built and their work is as good as I've seen.

You didn't mention the contour but if I were building a hunting rifle for 600 yds or less I'd want to keep the weight down.
