Will a Remage style barrel work with a Stiller or Defiance action?

[cumminsdsl]

I ordered a Remage style barrel threaded for a Remington 700. I was initially going to rebarrel an existing rifle, during my waiting period I decided if I was going to spend the money I might as well go with an upgraded action as well. My question is, is there anything preventing me from using this barrel with a Stiller TAC300 or Defiance Deviant action, or others? I know I need something with a 700 footprint and the same threads, are there any other aspects that would prevent the barrel from working?

Should work fine.

My Tac300 300wm has a remage barrel. It works fine, but when ordering let them know it's for a Stiller. I seem to remember something about a relief cut for a Stiller vs 700. I've never messed w a Defiance so can't help there.

The problem is I already have the barrel. It makes sense that it would work, I believe the Stiller is the same threads and head spacing as a standard Remington action. I just want to be 100% sure before I have an expensive pile of parts that aren’t compatible.

I sent both Stiller and Defiance an email about this and really didn’t get an answer.

I have a Stiller wearing a McGowan Remage barrel, so yes.

Thanks, my barrel is a McGowen as well.

I have a Deviant that I have had a Criterion 6BR barrel on and it worked fine.

Those of you with the Stiller Actions, did it come with a recoil lug? It doesn't appear that it is included, but I have not received confirmation from PTG or Stiller. If it does not, which recoil lug is required, a standard one for a Remington action?

Sorry if these are stupid questions but this is my first experience with a custom rifle, learning as I go.

This is the one I am looking at. Same as a Tac 300 re branded for PTG, but about $100 cheaper with shipping than stiller.
