They take Savage prr-fit barrels too, Just sayin.

Really? I thought I read that the thread shape was different. Did I get
the wrong info there? Seems like it was said that the threads per inch
were identical, outside diameter same, but thread shape was different.
I am not sure of that though, it has been a while since I read that and
have plenty of time to remember it wrong now.

It is the same. The Marlin XL7's, XS7's, then simply the X7, which has now become the Rem 783 takes standard small shank barrels.
I've got a Pre-fit Savage Barrel from GunShack on my XL7. When I re-barreled it years ago, on the Marlin forum they claimed there was a difference in thread spec, but it's a case of how far you want to take the decimel with accuracy. The Marlin/Rem also have interchangable bolt head parts.

I don't know if the 783 has the same bolt head groove that the Marlin uses as a guide for the bolt to travel in, but my Marlin is VERY smooth for bolt travel.

Just wondering if the 7mm magnum 783 is going to be a small shank, or if they take a large shank like the savage magnums.
