TR gave solid answers to your questions. A 700 action is a 700 action. I wouldn't get hung up on Remington barrels either.

My advice to you is to head to a gun show and search the used rifles for a beaten up Remington 700 hunting rifle. You should be able to get one for about a hundred bucks. Buy it for the action and then have done what you want done.
