Long Barrels
 

Whats the longest barrel and biggest contour you guys would hang off a Remmy 700 long action?

28" bull barrel, if I was only going to take it to the range.

I'm not worried about total rifle weight or total rifle length. I'm worried about action strength and flexing...I'm wanting to do a 30" Sendero contour.

What cartridge are you looking to use?

If you are worried about flexing with a heavy enough barrel you can always full length bed the barrel but I don't think a 30" sendero barrel is going to be much of a strain on the action.

I've shot a ton of 26" and 28" barrels i'm thinking go with 30" and if you don't like it cut it down. Size matterssssssssss.................. haha

My 300 RSAUM is a 25" 1.25" bull barrel, it does lose the float when you put it in a rest but given you're going with that contour don't see a issue.

7mm RUM or 7mm/338 Lapua.

Cool, I know it's been done and it'll also be fluted so that'll help a tiny bit. Your 7mm AM is built off a Remmy action too right? That's a 30" tube on it too?
