I don't remember doing the remingtons other than the M40-A1's (USMC sniper) when I was in the service. And when we did them it was a different method we used, very entailed. But I can't recall much about the recoil lug shape or much about the receiver at all. It was a long time ago and oddly enough I don't own a single 700 of my own.
So unfortunately I have no tips or hints specific to the 700 to share with you. I certainly wouldn't be afraid to do one though.
The spookiest one I did was an older tang safety ruger in 300 win in a walnut stock.
IIRC the bar shaped lug was actually angled rearward just as the action screw was, I was worried about locking that one into the stock but it turned out really well. Super tight fit, rock solid.
