Barrel thread

[jakewire]

If you have a barrel taken off a Remington 700 action are there any other actions it will screw into or screw into or into without too much modification, Tikka old and new actions for example or Bergara ? or anything else commercial and readily available.
Mechanical wizardry is unfortunately not my forte.
Thanks.

Rem barrels have a wee bit bigger thread than Tikkas, rugers and Sakos so are not interchangeable. Apart from the thread most actions have slightly different breech face designs and won't directly interchange. So there are barrels that will adapt ond action to another but it needs figured out for each example. . .

This "book" gives you the thread sizes for a bunch of barrels to compare.

On second thoughts probably easier to ask @gundoc
As Tentman said barrels may need modification, even if the thread is the same.

pretty sure they will fit the model 7

possibly the 600 mohawk/660

probably the corncob bolt one too

anything you have to rethread for you will also have to rechamber no biggie but added cost

The Remington M700 thread is 1-1/6"x16 (1.062" x 16) which is the same nominal thread as the Bergara and some other actions but that does not meant they are interchangeable. Barrel thread length, bolt recess, extractor groove, etc. all play an important part. You mention that 'mechanical wizardry' is not your forte. Barrel fitting is not just a question of unscrewing one and putting in another, even in the case of replacing a barrel with a correct replacement. Leave it to a specialist gunsmith with proven experience.

I have threaded down a Remington barrel to fit a tikka t3. With the headspace properly adjusted. Not a big deal but it takes a bit of time and care and a good lathe.
At 16 tpi thread, you have your Sako/ tikka/ ruger and Winchester. There might be others but I am not familiar with them.
