Rem 788 Barrel
Does the Rem 788 have it’s own barrel or does it share with the Rem 700? Is there anything unique about rebarreling the 788? I’ve got one that bubba cut off and it’s just over 16 inches. I’m wanting to replace the 7mm-08 with a 358 Win in a 20 inch length.

No, it's proprietary. About the 8 or 9th post down:

Very simple rebarrel. About rebarreling a mouser not a 700.

IIRC, the Savage 10/110 (non WSM) has the same 20 TPI and 60 degree thread. The Savage has a 1.05" shank and the Rem 788 was 1.0",

Usually the Savage barrels will screw right on though and you can use the Savage barrel nut for headspacing.
