I'm curious about the Shilen version of the barrel nut. It keeps the shank thickness pretty much intact. Please follow up with your experience.Just this past year I sent my 700 SA off to Shillen Barrels to have their Alternut Bull barrel in .22-250 installed.
Total cost was $547 including free shipping. I'm no gunsmith, just a hobbiest with a lathe and a milling machine and no confidence.
I can't verify the accuracy because I haven't shot it yet, but their service was excellent.
