I'm looking for some input on a Rem/Age barrel swap on a 700 action.
Specifically what has been everyone's experiences with this system? Accuracy? Problems? I'm looking at the McRees Precision Barrel Kit in 6.5. They have a .5 MOA guarantee on their kit which sounds good to me. Just looking for advice on this type of set up. |

I've been doing some reading about them as well. I think when I decide to hang up my AR10 for the long range game and switch to a bolt gun, I'll definitely be pursuing a Rem/Age conversion after I shoot out the barrel. All around, I just like the option of being able to change the barrel myself. Decent article to read - http://www.accuracy-tech.com/remage-conversions-explained/ |

What is the advantage on the Remage over just a savage? I would think aftermarket stock and trigger selection in better for the Remington action if the Remage barrel nut will fit the stocks. I do like the idea of not being stuck with the same boltface diameter by using the savage swappable boltface. Are there any other user swappable systems? I'm really interested in one to be able to shoot some flavor of .22 cartridge in the same gun as a competition and/or hunting caliber. Makes it a lot easier to swallow high end glass on one gun versus several. Ideally I want that to be .223AI just for free brass, but guess it would have to be 22/50 if I went Remage and didn't want to have to buy and have fitted a complete other bolt assembly. Has anyone come across info on the repeatability of home barrel installs? EG, am I going to be chasing a new shoulder setback and length to/off the lands for loads ever time the barrel is changed. That would somewhat defeat the purpose of being able to train cheaply then swap a barrel in and just go to a competition. I already have a savage in a McMillan but am interested if there are better options out there. |
