I have a Remington M7 SS in .260 Rem caliber that I bought for my wife about 20 years ago. Despite trying every different factory ammo loading that I could find, it's never been a real tack-driver (3 MOA), unlike my M700 in .30-06 (sub-MOA). Besides, the .260 caliber never really caught on, like I and the gun-scribes thought it would, and finding ammo has become a PITA, especially up here in AK. (I do not hand-load.) So, I want to re-barrel it to .308 Win, which is available everywhere, and in any loading from reduced-recoil to super-premium.
But, I'm having trouble locating a replacement barrel for an M7 at a reasonable price. I don't want to spend more for a replacement barrel for my M7, than a whole Ruger American rifle in .308 costs brand new. I found a reasonably good deal ($70) on a factory take-off barrel from a M700 in a sporter profile. Will that work?
Thanx, Dave.
