Here's a Remage project from start to finish. Just finished today so no range report yet.

I started with an old 243 Remington ADL, I called Jim Briggs at Northland Shooters Supply and ordered a 7mm-08 light varmint stainless CBI barrel. (FYI Jim was great to deal with, excellent customer service and very helpful)

The Barrel showed up well packaged.

The doner 700, the Barrel, and a Bell and Carlson Medalist.

First off remove the barreled action, trigger, scope, mounts, ect and put the barreled action in a barrel vice.

I usually put a stud in the forward action hole to keep the action wrench from slipping.

I also use a little masking tape between the action wrench and the action.

A little heat may be necessary to soften the threadlocking compound used by Remington. I just use a propane torch, not enough heat to change the temper of the steel.

Try not to burn the dog

After the heat just turn off the action with the wrench, it still takes a bit of effort even with the heat but not too bad.
