I have a Rem 700 short action in a AX stock, i am contemplating upgrading the barrel. Anyone able to tell me the maximum barrel profile the AX stock will accept ? Understand 5mm clearance required but the gunsmith is 1500km (932 miles) south, trying to organise everything by email.
 
Heavier than I would care to haul around for sure. I'm pretty sure it will take a straight 1.350 with room to spare. More or less anything within reason is fair game.
 
You run into problem moving the key mod sections if the barrel is too close. I noticed this when I accidentally left a rail near my barrel shank. Couldn't get it off.

Most of mine are #7s and they work great
