Turn it into a prc? Are you looking for just a drop and go replacement? I personally like the looks or carbon barrels, especially since you can get them fatter and lighter than a steal barrel, but you might be limited on contour if you just want a drop in. A nice fluted steal barrel are pretty too

I have recently re barreled, or built rifles using Shilen barrels, purchased at Northland Shooters supply. Believe me when I tell you that they are accurate. They also Have Remage barrels, in Critetion. I have 4 rifles with Shilen barrels on them, and they are all sub 1/4 minute shooters. Ask for James. He will hook you up.

My preference in barrels is Bartlein, Krieger, and Brux. I have all three and all are superb shooters.
Did this Proof CF on one for a really good friend of mine. 7mm Mag right back with a 8" twist. First 3 shots test firing with Hornady ELDX went into one hole at 100 yards. Just giving you a visual. If it were me......I'd go back all steel Remington Varmint with a Brux barrel your choice on length. Just don't do it in the PRC version.

Oh, I've had a few Brux's barrels, that are hummers as well. I've just had a great run on Shlilen of recent. I had rifle with a Schneider barrel, that was amazing. It NEVER FOULED.

If you liked the balance, weight and performance of your original pipe, do another.!
You can always do some light fluting for a different look.
Or do a #4 Bartlein for the same overall weight, with more concentrated toward the breech end.

If you want save some weight, go CF. Sendero al steel is pretty dang heavy. Proof 8 twist would work and look great.
I will only add this, my buddy said he loves the balance and feel a lot more with the proof. It did lighten it up some and and the balance shifted more to the middle and back to the shooter. I did like the feel of it for sure. I even pondered the idea taking a 300 win mag sendero I have like it and putting a CF on it.

If going with a 7RM again, go 8" twist and 28"-30" barrel.
All of my own builds prior to Jan 2022 had 29.5"-30" barrels with faster twists and all were built surrounding the REM 700 Sendero II platform. Built switch barrels in 6.5-300 Bee, 264WM, 7STW, 300WM & 300RUM. If you want to stay with a 26" barrel, it will obviously work, but you lose some advantage with that length.
As to barrels, over in your neck of the woods, I like Bartlein and Brux, but I have used both Hart and Lilja in the past.
Cheers.
