I recently rebarreled my Rem 722 and cut the raw blank to a heavier profile. 3.6lbs (Modified Palma profile, straight tapers).
The 20 inch barrel has a 3 inch straight section 1.2 dia, then tapers 2.5 inches to 1.0 dia, then the forward 14.5 inches tapers from 1.0 to .63.

I want to move the rifle back into the factory stock and need to open the factory channel to accept the heavier barrel.
I'm trying to figure out what tools, how many and what sizes do I need to open the channel on this project (and of course future projects).
I see the gunline bedding tools in several different sizes.
I also see some simple scrapers in different sizes.
Based on my barrel dimensions what size tools would I need? How much do I need to spend?
I've got plenty of woodworking hand tools, saws, chisels, planes..... just not this kind of stuff.
