[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1125242, member: 24284"] A barrel should be 'fit' to an action, not the other way around. Sounds to me like it's an 'older' 700 action that was threaded during manufacture with a tap, not single point threaded on a CNC turning/machining center, as they are now. In this case, alter the barrel, not the receiver. Chit happens, "drop-in" ain't always "drop-in"! If you try to alter the receiver I can just about guarantee you'll end up with sloppier threads than you have now, unless you buy a 1 1/16" 'bottoming' tap and then all bets are off! [/QUOTE]
