[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1640486, member: 93846"] 6-48 is the correct size and thread pitch but, you will need a bottom tap for a Remington 700. A plug tap or taper tap will not properly chase the threads in the forward most hole and could even strip the hole out! That hole is very shallow, due to the barrel threaded in, that passes by in the bottom of it. Definitely use only a bottom tap, in that hole at least. The other three holes are fine to chase with whatever style 6-48 tap that you wish to use. [/QUOTE]
