Would I just need to get the head spacing adjusted?

If by "adjusting" you mean having the barrel setback and the chamber re-cut, then sure you just need to get the headspace adjusted.

Sounds like I shouldn't get married to the bolt I have and save the hassle by keeping the origional. Thanks

Re: Remington 700 Bolt Swap?
Functionally the two bolts are the same. Unless you have a VERY expensive bolt knob on one there is no reason to swap them.

Re: Remington 700 Bolt Swap?
It may not need any adjustment. If it will close on a "go" gauge and not close (or close with some bit of force) on a "no-go" gauge, it will be fine. If it won't close on a "go" gauge, or closes on a "field" gauge, then you have headspace issues.

I have 2 remington 700 in 308,a varmint Synthetic and a sps.
I ACCIDENTALLY mix the bolt up,and I'm still alive to tell the tail.
Both have long throats 2.9160 COL.

Thanks, I will look at it. I have a bolt knob mod but it's not high dollar by any means.
