I have a Rem 700 ADL chambered in 30-06 and I am considering have it re-barreled, possibly to another caliber.
The only catch is about 12 years ago I used JB Weld to keep the scope base and mounts from coming loose. Call it a childhood indiscretion, call it stupidity, or call it whatever you want, but I had never heard of loctite and I knew I was never going to sell it. I'm not sure why the scope base kept coming loose, but I promise they haven't moved at all since then! The scope has never lost its zero either haha.
But I've never switched out a barrel, so I'm wondering if it still possible for a smith to clamp the action in a way that they scope base and mounts won't be in the way. I have a standard Leupold 1 piece base and Leupold standard 1" scope mounts on this rifle.
Thanks!
