[QUOTE="wheelin454, post: 874377, member: 70070"] Thanks for all the information. A couple things, I don't have a gun smith that I go to but have re-barreled savages in the past. If it is a matter of checking a go no-go I am more than capable of that but hand reaming the chamber is to much for me. First I don't think you can do it precisely by hand and I don't want the hassle. I was looking at the barrels that people have pulled off factory 7mm rifles and thinking of putting one on a old 7mm rifle. These are presumably new remingtons and mine is a old remington "28 years". I would of course check head space with go and no-go. It sounds like a lot of you have experience with these. If I buy one for 50$ and it doesn't work for head spacing does anyone know a good gun smith in Montana? The big question is "is it worth the gamble?" you get a good one that needs a smith to fit it, then you still don't know if it will shoot worth a **** anyway. Would I be better of buying a quality barrel? Thanks again, Chris [/QUOTE]
