    I've owned several 700 PSS, and I'm 99% sure they all had a matte blued finish - not parkerized.

    F T/R Competition which barrel to order for 6mmbr

    Go with stainless. Regarding twist and bullet weight, it would be helpful to know how far you're planning to shoot. The easy answer is go with a 1-8" twist and that will handle pretty much any weight you want to shoot.

    Broughton or Hart or Schneider?

    All three make top shelf barrels. But of the three, I would personally go with Broughton. Regarding pricing, take a couple of minutes on some of the well known smiths' websites and you can get a pretty good feal on pricing.

    Gunsmithing Opening up a Remington 700 bolt face?

    Yes - this can be easily accomplished by a gunsmith. A lot of guys go ahead and have a Sako or M-16 style extractor installed while they're having the work done. Any competant rifle smith that does precision rifle work should be able to do this.
