Mine is 2" Id. I use split bushings turned and bored from 6061 for Remingtons.
I prefer working on Winchester's, FN SPRs and Howas. The bushings aren't so great with them. But, they seem more rigid, so perhaps less of an issue.
My phone's all jacked up. Hence the double post. This forum doesn't seem to have a button for deleting a post. This always happens when it's charging on an inverter. The chargers rectifier doesn't like the squarewave ac source.

With inflation and current steel prices, I wouldn't even make one for myself right now. 
It works great for any short action, and Remington long actions. Winchester and Howa long actions are a little harder, because the back of the receiver is a tight fit inside the D1/4 spindle. It works, but takes a little effort to get it positioned.
I should have made it about an inch longer.
