[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 3074181, member: 71221"] I'll start this by saying I have not done a Remage setup. I have considered it but I always go with a quality barrel chambered by a competent gunsmith and I have never been unhappy. That said, are you ok dremeling out your stock for the barrel nut? Have you actually seen a Remage setup and are you ok with the look (I personally am not). Do you have the tools to break loose a stubborn factory installed barrel? What is your plan if you can't get it off? Are you ok possibly ruining your factory barrel? What is your plan if you do it and it doesn't shoot; especially if you have ruined your factory barrel (likely) or torqued your action potentially out of square? DIY Remage style pre fits sound good but present many potential issues and you need to be prepared to deal with those. Personally I would buy a quality barrel blank, and pay a good smith to do the work. You'll probably come out cheaper overall and have a better product. If you want to consider DIY in the future, buy an action that is set up for shouldered pre fits. R700 factory actions just aren't consistent enough for this. [/QUOTE]
