Mailed it to Ilion on 22 August - got it back today, 24 Sept, 4 1/2 weeks later. The new barrel (7mm-08) fits tightly and so does the original .45-70 barrel. The rifle arrived in a box very like the one I bought in in originally, and was well packaged. Saw no damage at all to the rifle, no scratches or rubs, but the bore was dirty from firing. I won't be able to shoot either barrel til Sunday (got an LSU ball game to go to Saturday
). Will let you know how they shoot - I've never shot either barrel before, I sent them a brand new receiver. Looks like Remington has pretty much gotten their act together as far as I can see, so far.
