700 ML barrels

[jag]

I may want to replace the barrel on my stainless 700 ML. Anyone on the board in that bussiness? Any suggestions on what barrel to buy?

What's the problem with your barrel? What caliber is it?

Pac-Nor makes a drop in for the 700ml that is designed for smokeless using the savage breech plug I believe. Hunter can get the bolt nose done.

This would give you many options, use whatever sub you want including the original substitute. ;D ;D

Mountainam, the barrel on the 50 cal 700 stainless I just purchased has some corrosion and a few pits.

Jag; Check your PM's

Clean that SS barrel and shoot it, you may be surprised how it shoots. If you do take it off please send it to me. A farmer friend of mine has a ss 700ML that has a few areas of the barrel that aren't pitted. It still shoots less than 2" at 100 yards any day with my cast and HSB sabots. It loads tough because of rough, but it still shoots.

screwbolts, I did a quick look last night on Pac-Nor's website for a drop-in barrel for a Remington 700ML and did not see one. Maybe it was late & I wasn't focused, but if you have a link to the page that has the 700ML barrel I would be most thankful for it.

Sisko, here is a link to a thread in the savage forum, the one above this one with the info on the 700 barrels : dougsmessageboards.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=smokeless&action=display&thread=7097

If you call Pac-nor I believe they can/will fit the barrel with any breech plug you wish to use, an option is to send them your action with instructions of what you want done.

The Hunter bolt conversion would let you have unlimited possibilities with your ML.

Long live cast boolitz!
