Rem 700 6 creed barrel help

[Jlingle]

I have a Remington 243 that has never been much of a shooter. I have 2 sons that have shot the gun, and we’ve all killed animals with it but it ain’t much of a shooter. My oldest son wants to rebarrel the 243 into a 6mm Creedmoor. I would love help from some of you more experienced guys. What barrel should I get? Can anybody point me in the right direction? I’d like a barrel to be threaded, fluted, and maybe a nut system like the savage to attach everything. Anyone help?

If you're in SW Oklahoma, you need to reach out to Beanland, he'll set you straight on your options and recommendations, and if he builds your rifle it will definitely be a shooter!

Oklahoma is home to some fantastic riflesmiths. However, it seems like you are wanting to go the way of the 'Remage'.

Literally a bunch of possibilities if you Google Remage barrels. I'd probably go with Southern Precision (Bugholes.com) with their Bugnut system.

If you're in Eastern Oklahoma, Matt Stewart of Stewart Rifles LLC is a fantastic dude to true your action and chamber a barrel for you. He's done three for me, and I have a multitude of one ragged hole groups to show off his work.

Since you are out west, Mike Bryant out of wheeler Texas can get you set up.

I like to take the guns that are not much of a shooter and hacksaw the barrel shooter and retest.
The little .243 has velocity to spare.
If it is a 22" I would go 18" hack and then chamfer the bore after the cut.
You are going to replace it anyway so what is the harm
I have a 19.25 " 6.5 CM and it now shoots very well.
