Just saw this and this looks really cool! "Need a new barrel for your Remington-actioned hunting or tactical rifle? McRee’s Precision has you covered. McRee’s is now offering complete, no-gunsmithing re-barreling kits for Remington and Rem-clone actions. These feature a high-quality, pre-chambered "PRE-FIT” stainless barrel from Criterion, a Savage-style barrel nut, a recoil lug, and a special barrel-nut wrench." |

I was wondering how long it would take someone to do this. Good for them.
I'll pass |

These have been around a while. Looks like McRee is just a dealer for them now.

For just a little more, I can get a Benchmark, Krieger, or Rock fitted by a smith in the normal way. I will pass.

This is kinda interesting as a way to get a little more accurate of a rifle vs the stock barrel, I wonder how much if any stock modification needs to be done though to accommodate the recoil lug and barrel nut.

Northland Shooter Supply has basically the same thing for significantly less.

Shilen uses the savage attachment system on their barreled DGR actions as well. However their website is so terrible I didn't know this until I called up and ordered a barreled action.
If you check out http://www.shilen.com/productsCompleteRifles.html you can see the savage barrel nut on a barreled action. It also looks like they use a floating bolt head like the savages. |

Black Hole Weaponry makes them too. Stainless, polygonal rifling, very accurate barrels. I have 4 of their pipes and they're just amazing. If you're putting a budget rifle together it's a great way to go. If you have the extra 700 bucks to spend though I'd suggest an action truing and having a Krieger/Bartlein/Brux/Lilja barrel professionally installed. When I go to shoot at a high power match I do see quite a lot of Savage and Remington rifles. What I don't see are barrel nuts. That's for competition though. If you're just looking for an upgrade, a barrel nut conversion has some real upsides.

So barrel, nut, wrench, and HS gauges and you just mount it up, like an AR or Savage? Cool.
Tell Me More, pics or videos would be cool. |

I've done two of these, short action 308 and long action 300winmag on a rem action. I don't consider these "budget builds" (barrel/nut/lug ran me close to $500), but it does save you some gunsmithing costs.
On mine I faced off the front of the action and milled the relief for the recoil lug. Once that's done you need an action wrench ($60ish) and a barrel nut wrench ($20ish) and headspace gauges for your desired caliber. There's a little upfront cost, but I've done a few builds so the tooling cost has been spread out. Also, if I need to rebarrel or want to change the caliber, I'm already half way there.

http://i.minus.com/jbwy1GPY5hKL8w.jpg Exactly right. My friend went with a Criterion when rebarreling his Rem Seven from 7mm-08 to 308. Took me all of 30 minutes to pull off the old bbl and install and headspace the new one.

Remage in 6.5x47 with pac-nor barrel. Just got the barrel vise and action wrench this weekend. Waiting on a small FP bolt to arrive before I start load development. |

That barrel nut just isn't right on a Remington
 If it gets a guy into shooting and fits his budget you can't go wrong.

I think Bergara also makes a barrel nut conversion.

I'm looking into a Remage conversion as well. I just have to determine if the company offering the work is quoting a decent price...It'd would be nice to not have to send my bolt action off to a smith every couple years for a new barrel.

The important thing with a remage conversion is that you don't let a gunsmith open up your receiver threads when truing your action. |

Finding a smith that doesn't shit on the Rem/age concept seems to be the hard part for me right now. Guess I'll step up to some of the bigger names. If the concept didn't work well then Savage wouldn't be in business anymore and Remington wouldn't have copied the concept of using a barrel nut on their Budget model 783. I am not a fan of Savage personally but I have friends who shoot them and love them. Their rifles are very accurate and they are 100% factory. |
