722 Rem, Re barrel

[curteric]

I have a 722 in .244 Rem that shoots worse patterns than my Browning 425. I've decided to re barrel it. I would like to keep it as a repeater, but I am thinking of going to ether 6MM PPC, or 6MM BR. How much magazine work would this requirer? Is it even cost effective, the easy thing to do is keep it a 6MM Rem with a slow twist for light bullets, then it's just a barrel change.

I believe the casehead dimensions of the 6 ppc cartridge would be wrong for your bolt unless you had some work done. The 6 BR would probably work as it has the same case head dimensions as the 244 Rem. The shorter 6 BR case might not feed as slick. The more common .243 might make more sense than anything.   Good Luck.      greer

It's at the gunsmiths now becoming a light varmint, Hunting rifle, in 6MM BR so it will have a factory or no turn neck. I'm going to use the original stock.
