Hello everyone,
I’m a new member here, looking forward to learning. I have a Rem. 700 PSS in 308 that I purchased used. I have no idea of the total round count other than the 3-400 I have shot through it. The Oal length to the lands is over 3 inches with a barnes 175gn hpbt. Where should I post my question about barrel replacement vs going to one of the newer chassis style guns like the rpr or tikka?

Welcome to the hide. Although I have never measured a factory Remington 700 for length to the lands, I have heard rumors that the Remington 700's come from the factory with a very long lease in the throat (distance until the bullet engages the rifling). Lots of pole have found that just setting the barrel back a little bit helps a great deal, but you have to be careful of pressures when the bullet engages the rifling sooner.
