Forgive me if this qualifies as a stupid question (probably does) but is there a schematic / spec sheet out there for what a barrel needs to be turned to and threaded to, to fit a stock Rem700SA?

Thanks!

Yes there is.. there is a book titled "Bolt Action Rifles" in ther back of this book are "factory" specs for breech ends of most common rifles. I stress "Factory" because these tolerances are loose to allow any reciever to thread on and clear the bolt. A good gunsmith would not use these dimensions when building a custom rifle,after truing the reciever and bolt he would take measurements for the required dimensions.
