Opinions on remage barrels


Recommended Posts

So I built my own "Custom" rem 700 in 35 whelen with a remage barrel for pig hunting in GA just to see if I could do it.  I am very pleased with how it turned out.  I am getting MOA groups or better at 100yds with factory ammo.  The intended range of the rifle is under 200yds so it fits the bill perfectly.  I listed the specs below.  I probably now have more experience than most with them but I have a 300 win mag that has over 1000 rds down the pipe and I am looking into replacing the barrel soon.  This is my long range shooter and the ranges can reach out to 500yds or more.  I am considering another remage barrel and do it myself.   I am just not sure I want to invest in a remage barrel for a more precise shooting rifle.  I keep telling myself that this is exactly how the savage long range shooters are done but I just like the idea of the standard installation of a quality barrel like a Kreiger or Lilja.
