Have decided to do a makeover on my sons rem 700 . chambered in 308 its a ADL heavy barrel , first thing is trigger rework , then a Boyds pro varmint with adj cheek , and nikon m308 scope . Was wondering if factory lug is except-able or a heavier aftermarket would be recommended.

To replace the factory lug with a thicker lug you will have to machine the difference off the barrel shoulder.. So if you go from .187 thick lug to a .250 lug you will have to set the barrel back .062 to get the correct head space..
Leave the factory lug on the rifle,, a thicker one will not help you any at all.
