Rem 700 hart bbl 26" long 1.200 x4'' then tapers to .913 . Length is 26".Its chambered in 6x284..Original gun smith says it has sever throat erosion. Can I have a 3"(or what ever it takes) cut off it and re chamber it to 6 BR or some other 6mm cartridge ? What are my options besides replacing the bbl. This rifle still produces under 1/2 moa.I want to get all the life I can out of this bbl .
Rem 700 with a Hart regurlar varmint contour can I cut ?

The 284 case is bigger than other cases based on the .473 head. You would have to fully remove the chamber portion to be able to re-chamber to something smaller. With what you have, you could set back that barrel the 3" and get a better throat, to get the rest of what the barrel has to offer. Otherwise it's a replacement.
