Remington 700 3006, rebarrel or rebore?

Just a little update, I just finished the action bedding with Devcon plastic steel.
It came out fine only missing bedding in a couple spot the size of a small pistol primer. The action is solidly bedded now.

I lost the boltstop spring, ( its still flying somewhere) and so I ordered one from from potterfield.....

My son will refinish the stock, itll be a good job for him.....

The real problem with re-boring is that there are only a few shops that are set up to do it, and they are backlogged months if not years. It is very machine intensive work; rifling machines don't come cheap and there is no guarantee that the barrel will be accurate when the job is finished.

I didn't want to mention it but James K is correct, if the gunsmith is good at his work the back log on a re-bore may well take a year or more.

FWIW - Jes' turnaround has been around 2 weeks, according to customers of his I've been in contact with.

We decided to shoot this barrel out..then rebarrel it and some other upgrades.


The barrel may take a thousand or more rounds to do away with it and start anew.
