I'm looking for a Takeoff barrel from your Remington 700. I'm looking for a 308 caliber. If you know where I can find it, I'd appreciate it.

To replace a damaged barrel in hopes people have takeoffs they don't need to sell for cheap. I've looked into Remage and other replacement barrels, but I can't justify the dollars.Why a takeoff?
The likelihood that it is a straight drop-in fit and that it shoots well is pretty low. Save up an extra month or two and get a remage if you are trying to stay budget-conscious.To replace a damaged barrel in hopes people have takeoffs they don't need to sell for cheap.

Who is the shop?I've quoted Preferred Blanks. They're running $550 for a complete replacement. I have a gun shop quoting $175-250 to machine for headspace and install. I think I'll come out with $350 if i can find a blank. The only problem is I might not get a similar barrel contour. I'm inclined to go with a takeoff since $550 is close to buying a new rifle.

If you true a Remington action, you are opening the threads on the receiver at the same time, which does not play well with factory threads. The chamber will need to be pushed back, and most barrel contours don't have that much space.
It could work ok, but you could be throwing $ into the trashcan trying to save a couple of hundred bucks. Certainly your rifle, your money and all that. But there are things I wish people would have told me before making mistakes in the effort of being penny wise, that led me to being pound foolish. Just my .02
When the receiver is trued, the front is squared off, and then the threads cut to align them with the center of the action. This opens up the threads.It's Full Blown Firearm in Hampton GA. They've actually quoted $400 for assembly and threading for a mizzle brake.
Why would one need to cut threads to true a barrel? I would imagine turning the barrel to the correct headspace and confirm with go/nogo gauges.
If a takeoff barrel require truing, would a remage barrel require it too?
Did something like this happen to your rifle? What was the result? I appreciate your input, by the way.
