Saw in a Cabela's flyer they're offering a sale on the Remington 700 ADL chambered in 223, 22-250, and 308. Final price after rebate is $375. Looks like a good opportunity to get an action to build my next SML. Sale lasts till the end of August. Just a heads up for anyone wanting a deal on an action. Sounded like a good price to me. I have seen this ad as well. Looks to be a great deal for the money. Someone could get one of these with a Hankins Prefit 700/.45 barrel and be up and running in a few hours in the smokeless game. I think Jeff has some 700/.45 prefit barrels in stock.

So, to set headspace, would you just screw the barrel in until the module sandwiches in between the bolt face and plug then tighten the nut? And recoil lug alignment?

I'll take a stab at this one. The recoil lug needs to be held in correct position while everything is being secured. I know that fixtures are available that bolt to the front action screw that will temporarily hold the recoil lug in the correct alignment. Other than that I think you pretty much summed it up in your post. Maybe others will jump in that are more knowledgeable and have done one or two.

Northland shooters sells a really nice action wrench.that locates on the front action screw hole. They sell an add on part for Remingtons that locks the recoil lug in the proper orientation. I highly advise using this because if you assemble and bed the action and later switch to another barrel, your recoil lug orientation must be exactly as it was before or it will need to be re-bedded. One more reason that I prefer Savages...They have a recoil lug locator notch and with a precision lug that has a screw, are very repeatable when assembling the barreled action.

To headspace the barrel you can use two different modules to set it pretty precisely. On one module apply a layer of scotch tape on the base of the module. (Covering the primer and trimmed neatly around the rim of the module with a sharp razor) This will add about 0.003" in overall length to the module. The other module is left unaltered. The unaltered is your go gauge and the taped one the no go gauge. If you wish for a little more headspace add another layer of tape to the one already taped and put a single layer on the one that has no tape. Setting the headspace with the last method will allow for 3 to 5 thousandths of headspace if the bolt closes on the go gauge and does not close on the no go gauge. Is this method a necessity? Probably not. It's a matter of how particular you want to be setting the headspace. If you like the extra piece of mind knowing exactly where you set the barrel then go for it.

Will these barrels work with a remington 700 varmint style stock?

Will these barrels work with a remington 700 varmint style stock? Should work my pre-fit Sav. will drop right in a varmint stock without alteration. Not sure about Rem. maybe need to relieve barrel nut area in the stock?

Thanks for the info. Does anyone happen to know if these barrels still come with the modules? I see on the site it says it comes with the HIS system, but doesn't mention anything about the modules. Thanks in advance!

I've had 2 of Hanks prefits. Have 1 now. They shoot as accurate as anything. Just not quite as fast.

do you set headspace the sameway on a Remington 700 action with a barrel screw in without a nut,

+1 One thing you have to understand about barrels that attach/tighten with a barrel nut is this: The barrel aligns with the action only as straight as the threads in the action AND the threads on the barrel are cut (concentric to the center-line of the bore). The nut, just tightens it! With a "shouldered" barrel...................if the face of the action is machined square to center line of the bore and the shoulder on the barrel is square to the center ling of the barrels bore...........AND you are using a recoil lug (which gets sandwiched between the action and barrel shoulder) which is ground parallel, then even if the bore threads are no 100% perfect, the barrel, when tightened, will ling up square to the action and give good results. True blue printing of a Remington action for a muzzle loader, in my opinion, is a waste of time and $$$............as long as the action face is square. The blue printing is a tad more critical in a cartridge rifle as it encompasses bolt faces being square to the case head and bolt lugs being square with the internal abutments which in turn relate to keeping the cartridge in perfect alignment with the center of the bore. Almost cheaper to buy a custom action vs. blue printing a Remington action.

I have been looking at these barrels for awhile and have the opportunity to trade into a M700 in .223 would this action be able to be used or would it need to be a larger caliber for the HIS system?
Are the prefit barrels threaded for a brake?
Thanks

Barrels are not pre-threaded for brake but he offers that service for around 3c irc.

Yeah, it can be threaded. But your max load with a prefit is a 275 grain bullet at 2600ish. Unless you're pretty sensitive, recoil's not too bad. Jimmy.
