So you replaced a factory barrel with another factory barrel?

No.
Multiple factory rifles.

Ah Ok. Was confused as I was talking about a single rifle.

The 22-250 has been a favorite.

Ran across this on a different forum (I don't know anything about them):

EVO II Stainless Steel Action | Mack Brothers Suppressors

Every EVO Stainless Steel Action comes with a self-indexing recoil lug, complete bolt, and a 20 MOA Picatinny rail. The enhanced recoil lug adds...

I did inquire about a 223 bolt face; they said something about doing a run mid-summer.

I have one. You will like it. Lug is larger than a 700, so you will need to deal with that. Also takes a different magazine. I use mine as a single feed. I wish they made these in a single feed style action, but they don't. At today's Remington 700 action price point these Evo's beat Remington 7 ways to Sunday.

Can you get a shouldered prefit barrel for them? There is a thread on the Hide about them and people seem to like them.

I'm not aware of anyone offering them, yet. At least not on their websites.

Was just wondering if they kept the actions to a tight enough tolerences to offer them. You can probably use a barrel nut version but I like shouldered for ease of use.

 

[rijndael]

AFAIK, they're supposed to be capable of prefits, but I suspect there aren't enough out there for the popular smiths to have seen enough to be comfortable offering them.

Remage / Nut solutions are definitely an option with the newer bolts. I've seen a few of those.

 

[rijndael]

I suspect that since there are two different bolts out there, they'd need to restrict the prefits to certain SN ranges.

I think you can, but I had @Terry do a barrel for mine. IIRC there was an issue with not being able to put remage barrels on the first run of actions they made. They corrected that on the second run they made.

Would be interested to see if a shouldered prefit is possible. Remage are ok but I don't like to deal with the nuts and setting headspace. Would rather screw it on like my other actions. Haven't see the shouldered ability mentioned anywhere about them so that is what is making me wonder.

The lug dimensions were off. You could take .010 - .020 off the lugs and the remage would have worked. The updated bolts started shipping in the 2nd half of last year, IIRC.

The lugs were too wide or too deep? I.e., were they hitting the sides of the counterbore or the 'face' of the counterbore? Or, do I have it all wrong?

Too long.

(again ... original bolt issue - not current production)
