I was excited until I saw Mil. I have the same scope in MOA and I love it.

It is just a Remington 700 SPS in 243. It has a Timney trigger, but otherwise it is a stock gun. Currently has a leupold VX III 3-9 on it. I'm not really looking to sell it. I think I bought it for $450 long ago, when I was a younger man. It is well used. I've probably got around 2500...

Good to know

@Everyone I appreciate all the responses. There is a lot of information here to dissect and digest. I'm still not sure what I will do, but I have time to think it over. I do like doing things myself, and learning new things. I also appreciate the abilities of a good gunsmith. There are...

I have thought about this as well. I'm just wondering how much case capacity I would be giving up to shoot the 108-115 bullets?

Yes, i hand load. Nothing crazy. I want everything to still fit in an AICS mags.

Sorry. I was talking about two different guns in my OP. One is a custom build that was blueprinted and rebarreled by a very good gunsmith. The build in question is a stock Remington 700 243 Winchester that I am considering converting to 6CM myself via a remmage barrel. With that...

Thanks for explaining. Can you describe what you mean by half-assed. I have no experience. I'm trying to learn, so I appreciate it.

Have you done this before? What was your experience?

Larry from Midway USA makes it look so easy!

Remage barrel is what I was looking at.

I can tell you this. I rebarrelled my RM to a 7.5 twist. I'm shooting 195 Bergers at 2950 and they are making bughole groups. (It is a 29" tube) I just think it matters if you want to buy a new gun, rebarrel an old gun, or if you are ok with shooting 168 gr boolits. The RM has the same...

Who has replaced their own barrel on a Remington 700 in a different caliber? I'm thinking of converting my 243 to a 6CM simply because I'd have more room for the longer boolits. My understanding of the process is that I would need a barrel vise, an action wrench, and go/no go guages for the...

My current setup, according to 4DOF, can get me out to 2150 yards with my fast loads. Possibly further if I don't use all my zoomies. We have room to get out there on my friends property if his neighbor doesn't mind the target being placed in his field. The next goal is 2000. That would be...

Congrats to you as well! It's a great feeling to get it done. Now I just want to stretch it further lol
