Re: Barrell recessed for bolt with a Surgeon SA .308? OK, I get it now. Thanks to everyone for the info. Regards, IrishRifle.

Re: Barrell recessed for bolt with a Surgeon SA .308? DocEd, Thanks for the reply. As I'm sure you can tell, I'm not a gunsmith. So, my next question is; Do I NEED a boltnose recess for some function, accuracy or safety reason? Or is it a leftover side effect of the shorter tread area of...

Re: Barrell recessed for bolt with a Surgeon SA .308? OK guys, Thanks for the replies but I'm a little confused. Here it is in a nut shell. I have a .308 barrel which has already been chambered but not treaded. It's a Palma 95 chamber setup for 155smk at 2.8" OAL which will put the bullet...

Hi Guys, Given that the Surgeon tread is .950" long compared to the Remy .700" tread, does a barrel which is to be fitted to a Surgeon SA .308 need to be recessed for the bolt/lugs the same as the Remy 700 or can the bolt sit flush? Regards, Irishrifle.

Re: Long range project completed OK IanB, thanks for the info. I might be sending some business Hydrographics way soon. Again, superb looking rifle. Hope it works well for you. IrishRifle.

Re: Long range project completed Fantastic looking rifle. What was the cost of the Immersion Coating on the AICS skins? Also, did Jager Duracoat the action and barrel, and what shade of black is that? IrishRifle.

Re: Badger M2008 with Remy 700 barrel? I think I maybe leaning back towards the Surgeon. I found a place in the UK that has them in stock and I could have it in two/three weeks as opposed to a few months to get the M2008 from the States when it comes out. Also the Surgeon will drop straight...

Re: Badger M2008 with Remy 700 barrel? Slayer, In what way did the surgeon impress you more? I had always intended to use a surgeon for the build untill the M2008 came out and caught my eye. The 60 degree bolt throw, the double recoil lugs and the sheer rugged look of the M2008 appeals to me...

Re: Badger M2008 with Remy 700 barrel? OK Dave, thats not so bad. I'll have to think about it for a while. I still haven't fully decided on the M2008, I might go with a Surgeon and I assume that would require less of a re-work as it is based on the remy. IrishRifle.

Re: Badger M2008 with Remy 700 barrel? OK, thanks for the info guys. So, basicaly there would need to be a re-work of the tread and chamber leading to a loss of up to maybe an inch of barrel lenght. The reason I ask is because I have a 30" medium palma 1/12 Krieger barrel about to be treaded...

Anyone know if a .308 barrel which has already been treaded and fitted to a Remy 700 can be re-fitted to the Badger M2008 SA? If so, is it a straight swap or does the treading need to be extended or completely redone? Also, would it need to be rechanbered?
