    Gunsmithing Around the action wrench for factory removal FoSho

    Had an attempt made to remove a factory barrel with my Surgeon action wrench. The damn thing bent under load, so while I still think and lug style wrench won't damage the action, it definately won't hold up to the removal of all factory barrels. Unfortunately this was a lesson learned...

    ideas for a rem700 375hh action...

    I'm tired of this rifle constantly kicking my ass, so I'm thinking about a re-barrel. A 7 pound 375hh sounded like a good idea at first... I suppose it would be a good action to build a 338 lapua on, that's the first thing I thought of at least. Any ideas?
