    Depends if it’s a factory thread or been done by a gunsmith, most rems aren’t threaded from the factory. If they were it depends on barrel thickness. Not many tikkas are either. The hells canyon is a weird thread no one would do here. I don’t know about the other models.
    So I guess my answer is no they won’t be the same if they were done at the factory. If a gunsmith has done it there is a possibility they are the same depends on barrel profile and calibre.

    I think he's asking more about the barrel to action thread than the muzzle thread.
