I put a KRG Bravo stock and Triggertech trigger on a Remington 700 .223 that had that cheap plastic stock from the factory. It is a stainless action with a varmint weight barrel in 12 twist. The barrel is still shooting well enough but got to thinking about a new barrel to go with the new stock & trigger. How would a pre-fit work with the 700 action or should I go with the gunsmith route and the associated extra cost? This is not a competition gun just the casual paper puncher. I put a WOA barrel on my RPR last week which is another reason I got to thinking about the R700 upgrades. TIA

Remage prefit with barrel nut for sure. You get the length, contour, and twist you want. I would get 1 in 7 twist if sticking with 223 that way you can shoot heavier bullets. All you really need with a barrel nut install is an action wrench to hold the action stationary while torquing the barrel nut along with headspace gauges to set the headspace. It’s really easy, there are a lot of videos on YouTube. You don’t technically need a barrel vise. Check out Northland Shooting Supply, they likely have Criteron barrels in stock and they sell action wrenches for Remington actions. It’s easy, do it yourself.
Go to PVA {Patriot Valley Arms}, then go to "barrel sales." They are doing some Rock Creek Remage barrels for really good price. They have quite a few options on tenon threads, remage being one of them.
