Seems like a gamble to me.

what are you afraid of, I'm not understanding how it could be a gamble?

Me either. If you have a smith install it they can check the receiver to make sure there's nothing wrong with it.
Sometimes you just need to ante up to find out ...

What if it doesn't shoot? Not saying I wouldn't try but there's a reason a smith wouldn't recommend it. What kinda money would it take a guy to buy everything to diy?

If it didn't work the first time, you would pull it back apart and have the action blue printed .. when you had the funds and then reassemble.
I suspect many of us believe that 85 to 90 per cent of the accuracy is due to the barrel and it's chambering along with the addition of a good trigger.
A smith is conflicted by having to do the job right or perfect as his name will be tied to it. Then there is the appearance issue. Barrel nuts are not the most pleasing looking assembly...and what smith wants to turn out something he might think is ugly. But obviously there is nothing wrong with setting head space with a barrel nut as Savage does it and has some very accurate rifles.

Plus smiths lose money but not doing the extra step of blue printing...they have to make a living. My smith just thinks they are hideous.
If the factory barrel not is not pleasing, below are a couple of alternatives ...

Smith won't recommend cause it takes him out of the equation. Need go gage and no go and action wrench. Maybe a barrel vice to get the old barrel off. Cheaper than the smith will charge to mount your barrel. And after that one time the tools are paid for. Barrel swaps are free after that. Other than barrel cost

I agree with this 100%. I don't have a remage but a buddy of mine has one in 6x47 and its sub 1/2 moa @ 500+ yds... easy, cheap, and faster... it's a win win
LOL.....I already accepted "hideous" when I stopped using blued steel and walnut.......
