Of Savage, Criterion, Remmage, Marlin X7, now Rem 783?

[DannoBoone]

Poster on another board asked the question about changing the barrel on a
Rem 783, and who might do it. Never having seen one, I did a search and
see amazing similarities to my X7. A few years ago, I changed out its pencil
thin barrel for a Savage Criterion.....perfect fit.

Now I'm wondering if this guy can do the same with the Rem 783. Will
the Criterions made for Savage fit this rifle? I know they will if
Remington is using the same barrel and nut threads that Marlin did with
the X7. Has anyone tried doing this?
