Remage Opinions

[Farmerboy78]

So, I'm looking to do a barrel upgrade and have decided on the remage system. I've been emailing barrel manufacturers about options and received this response:

We do not offer Remage pre-fit barrels because of the often less than stellar tolerances that are found on Remington actions. It is much better to have a gunsmith true your Remington action and fit a barrel to the action. Savage can get away with sloppier tolerances on most of the action because of the floating bolt head design that takes a lot of the tolerance stack up out of the equation. Thank you for your interest in our products.

Opinions?

This is one of my remage rifles doings. 5 shots @ 600yds with a 6dasher

Spoke with James and he is definitely a good resource. Unfortunately Criterion doesn't chamber the cartridge I'm looking for.
I was planning on truing the face of the receiver and not the threads. Lugs show long/even contact, so IMO recutting the threads isn't worth while.

I just shipped a reamer from Manson to Criterion and they chambered it. James shipped bothe the barrel and reamer to my door.

Going to bed the action in an ag composites stock. With the PVA box end nut, or any nut, should that be bedded with the lug?

I only bed the recoil lug
