Bring it over and let me do it. Much easier if you have the correct tools, and if this is a factory barrel good luck without the correct tools.

Re: Removing 700 barrel?
Love to do it my self. But if I have problems I will consider bringing it to you. Its an after market barrel that is tweaked to the left a hair. Might be some more issues then just the barrel but I will cross that road when I get to it. Was going to buy a barrel vise and and Action wrench from Brownell. Is that good enough?

Tips:
Get a hot air gun. Milwaukee makes a good one.
Mix up a home brew of 50/50 Type F tranny fluid and acetone.
Barrel vise encouraged. Clamp the tube up close to the receiver along the cylinder portion of the barrel.
Hose it down with the ATF/acetone mix. Squirt some down the scope base holes. (REMOVE any/all bases from up front!!) Hose it down in the breech area too via ejection port.
Put the hot air gun to it till it smokes to beat hell. Get it RAGIN hot. The hot air gun warms the steel without ruining heat treatment, surface finishes, coatings, etc. Your not trying to do anything but break down the lock tite the factories use and promote some capillary action so that your "erl" mix wicks its way in there to loosen things up.
Insert your action wrench and using a breaker bar you'll have a drama free experience. No beads of sweat, no busted knuckles, no ruined receivers or barrels.
Good luck.

+1 for the local gunsmith. Remington factory barrels can really be torqued on. No sense in twisting the action to save a few bucks.
Good luck

Re: Removing 700 barrel?
Understand the need for the proper tools. I dont mind spending the money on tools. I plan on working on my own guns from here on out as much as I can. The barrel is not factory it is aftermarket. Will try to take pictures of it so I can get help from someone to identify it hopefully.

Re: Removing 700 barrel?
contact Sinclair intl or brownells they have barrel vices andd action spanners. If it is not a factory barrel this is all you need they screw in and out like doing up a nut.
Wneh tightening the barrel just make sure you tension it up firmly you dont have to over tighten barrels. You can also get a tool from Brownells that locates the recoil lug if it is not pinned i made my own but if you dont have one place the barreled action in the stock with the barrel slightly loose then nip it up using the bedding to hold it in place.
