[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1271834, member: 27307"] This should be based on which barrel in '06 is already on the M700 action. Some of the Remington barrels (newer) respond well to re-boring while some of the older hammer forged barrels do not. I suggest calling the folks who provide this service to see: Will this barrel be a good candidate? If not, what do they suggest? Time frame for re-bore? Cost? My reasoning behind calling them is that there are only four (4) shops in the U.S. who do the re-boring. They are all very busy as you might expect and there are no new shops coming into this type of work. If the re-bore shops tell you 'no' on the re-bore then you're essentially off the hook since you can use any gunsmith now to have the M700 re-barreled. Regards. [/QUOTE]
