[QUOTE="7mm man, post: 3074203, member: 127559"] I have rebarreled with shouldered pre-fits and variable shoulder pre-fits (remage barrel nut). The remage is easy and has been discussed quite a bit in this thread. The shouldered look better in my opinion, but often require at least a truing kit to get them to fit. I have the kit and always true them up to make them shoot better. I do not oversize the threads, I think that fad is dead. I have done 6 rebarrels of 700's, 721's, and 722's. Taking off the factory barrel is a biscuit and I typically weld them to a heavy beam at my work and crank on them with the wheeler action wrench. Get yourself one and a good barrel vise. I am even buying a lathe next year to be able to do short chambered barrels and eventuallychamber myself. Only a few smith's in my area and only one is accepting work, he is 9 months out from starting something, so I do everything myself now. Even applying a new finish to the actions. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
