Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Action Threads

Anyone know if a Remington barrel thread is compatible to a Sako 75 action. I know the bolt recess would have to be removed, but don't know if the threads match. I over did it firelapping the Sako, trying to remove a ruff area, and lost the accuracy. I have a fine 26" Hart SS. barrel, fitted to Rem. and this would ease my pain if the two could be united.(without setting it back) Thanks

The Remington barrrel is 16 tpi, and 1.050 dia witha recess for the bolt.<P>The SAKO's are normally 1.046, ( no big difference) and 16 tpi, and no bolt recess.<P>So they are quite compatible, but you will still need a lathe and a chamber reamer to correct head space,and line up the lettering.

Terry; Thanks for the info. I think this 8mag SS.match grade Hart barrel, on the SS Sako,and a 4.5-14x50 Leopold(elv.turret)could<BR>end up a very versatile favorite.<BR>It shot impressive groups with good velocity on a Rem action, so didn't want to give up any lenght.Was using it as a switch barrel,which is something I'd never recommend<BR>to anyone. Sounds way better in theory than it works.
