[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 874424, member: 5219"] If you have the means to remove the old barrel you can certainly try the new one. I have a friend that swaps out rem barrels frequently. He has had a few that were perfectly headspaced. As for using takeoffs, I have used many Remington takeoffs over the last 30 yrs. Sure they are rough compared to a custom and are harder to cleanup but the price difference makes the takeoff quite appealing. Dynatek bore coat can help. As for accuracy I can't remember a takeoff that didn't shoot at least 1/2 MOA with most closer to 1/4 MOA. The reduced cost will allow you (or me) to try different chamberings. Once you find a chambering you really like you could spring for a custom barrel at a later date. [/QUOTE]
