Offroad Gary Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Any issues putting a barrel of this weight on a standard remmy action? Will be 6xc or .243 finished at 26" in a decent stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpd Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 No technical issues, there are thousands of Rem 700s out there in that exact config. The real question is why? It is way heavier than necessary for either of the calibres you mentioned, a Rem Varmint profile would be more than adequate, with no loss of accuracy.

Offroad Gary Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 To reduce muzzle flip and recoil to an absolute minimum. Looks good too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srvet Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I have a Bartlein M40 profile on my Ronin smithed 6.5x47 on a R700 action which I think is similar Works fine but is a big lump! I do stalk with it in certain situations with a biathlon sling. If I were choosing the components again I would have a lighter profile a la sendero profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offroad Gary Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 this rifle is not going to be a carry gun, its for shooting deer from the roof of a 4x4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.5 shooter Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I have a parallel profile 6x47 barrel at 28" on an rpa mag fed rifle with no issues. I know its not a rem action but its a big lump hanging on the end of the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grum87 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'm getting a straight taper down to .900" at 24" on my .260rem over the coming month or so. Imagine it's not going to be light.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Gary, I put an MTU on a 308/Rem700SA years ago, just too bloody heavy/chunky. If I was concerned about muzzle flip then a suppressor or break would sort this. Heaviest barrel profile I've used recently was a heavy Palma on a 7mmSAUM, my choice for 243 or 6XC would be a med Palma (as per AI's). But in answer to your OP - 'yes' it 'could' be fitted Brgds T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
