My son wants to rebarrel his marlin xs7 25-06 to 280ai. Can he use a savage prefit? We tried to put a savage 260 barrel I had laying around on it just to see if everything worked, but the bolt hit the barrel face before we could get proper headspacing.
I have found lots of stuff online saying it will work, lots of stuff saying it won't work. Also saw something that said the rem 783 prefits are exactly what you need for the marlin.
Does anyone have any actual experience with the marlin action and prefit barrels?
Does anyone make a bolt head for the marlin action that has the same depth dimensions as the savage?
What's going to be the easiest way to do this, and do it right?
Thanks for your insight and knowledge.
