[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1714549, member: 24284"] In the 28yrs I have been removing barrels from rifles, a Rem. 700 has never given me a problem, and I have re-barreled many, probably upwards of 300-350, quit possibly more than that...... You want real tight, try a model P14 or Model 1917,,,,,, or a Howa/Weatherby Vanguard,,,, and some of the Tikkas can make ya' sweat, too. I see way too many simple jobs gone wrong brought to my shop by people who did not have the proper tools or were not sure "how to go about" the task. In any 'field' the moto should be "do no harm". Attacking a barrel because "it has to come off" just raises the possibility of disaster. The potential of a cracked or twisted receiver making it totally unusable is always there. These aren't 1" , grd 8 nuts and bolts. [/QUOTE]
