Just an FYI, don't know what you plan to do with the rifle, however I have had quite a few 30 cal barrels rebored by JES reboring in Oregon, nice job, $225 includes shipping, quick turaround, good phone service, always returns calls, shoot MOA with all of them. He could have rebored the current barrel off of the Remington. I was not sure about having a barrel rebored, however not sorry that I did it at all. He rebored two Ruger 77s from 30-06 to 35 Whelen and a Browning BLR from .308 to .358 Winchester, all three are real shooters out to 300 yards, what I consider to be maximum for these calibers.
