Im thinking about rebarreling and blueprinting my remington 700 action and I was wondering if there is anyone local who is really good at it? It's for a long range setup in a MDT chassis. I don't want to break the bank, but I'd like to get the most I can out of it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The best guy I know of is in chapel hill, so it would be a bit of a drive.

How does it shoot now? What caliber?
 
I gotta jump on here. I have a question. So i'm familiar with blueprinting an engine, but never heard of blueprinting a firearm. I looked it up. One of the sites I went to has a guy who says he blueprinted a 6mm rifle and wound up with groups as small as .149". 6mm is ~.236". How can you group smaller than the diameter of the slug? So I got to reading about grouping measurement. It seems that it might be technically possible to measure a group smaller than the caliber, but not very easily and probably not at all in the real world. Someone tell me what i'm missing here!

It’s a center to center measurement. If two bullets pass through the paper at exactly the same spot, that would be a 0” group.

For some group measurements they have a moving paper behind the actual target that moves a very controlled distance.
This allows two things 1. proof that the required number of shots were taken and 2. the group size can be measured as backup to the actual target.

Ahhh. That explains it!
 
I've shot a couple ragged one hole groups with various calibers, and I could't figure that out. Makes total sense! Thanks!!

I didn't measure this (10 rounds), but it was out of the 260 and it has a surgeon action. Still capable of this every time at the range surprisingly. Blueprinting an action is making sure everything is square and true to the other parts.

Couple weeks ago we were on the 2" target at 600 because it was boring on the larger ones.

Alan corder does amazing work and has built both my rifles he is on forum. McCracken chime in what is his name on here? Pm me and I’ll give you his number :cool:
 
If you just want to swap to a heavier barrel look into a Rem-age "Remage" barrel. It is a barrel with a Remington thread, fixed chamber, and a savage type lock nut. You screw the barrel into your receiver and check with headspace gauges. When GTG, you lock it down with the nut against the receiver. I haven't done it yet but I have a stripped receiver begging for a barrel.

I've done a few of the remage set ups. All of the components came from northland. Their barrel lugs have a bolt that is used for aligning the lug to the action. If used you either have to get someone to mill a notch or I'm sure you can use a dremel which I wouldnt do. Honestly those rifles shot great. The aggravating part is getting the factory barrel off the Remington. First time I tried I broke an action wrench lol
 
Send it to me up here in Salisbury. This is three shots from my 338 Edge I built. Attention to detail is paramount and 1/2 ass work won’t get it done.

You'll likely get a much better response by becoming a vendor here before advertising.

Unless of course you're volunteering your services for free.
