Anyway, my concern with doing the Remage on a "trued" 700 action would be the thread diameter of said action. Can't say with 100% certainty, but I believe the prefits for the Remage setups are for factory threads. If the action hasn't been molested yet, have your 'smith do all the normal blue printing but leave the threads factory. A pinned recoil lug makes things much nicer as well.

I am having action trued but leaving threads alone, you are right REMAGE barrels have Remington thread unless you have a barrel made and threaded from a blank. As far as I know you would then have to have nut built for larger thread diameter........and I am tryin to keep gunsmiths outta the equation as much as possible. Wasn't gonna even true the action but got weak on that one. Lol
