On the advice from here I am buying a new barrel. For my 700 06 to convert to 35 whelen. Should I go Ai or standard. Pros and cons. Replace the factory recoil lug?
Opinions appreciated

While I can appreciate the viewpoints on new, thicker lugs, I still can't see what I have lost by going with the factory lug? I mean, my rifles are .5 to .75" shooters with several loads, and I have been doing that since my first rebarrel ( a 30-06 Douglas on a Mod 70 FWT Classic) back in '94. At least, for "me" I can't tell any difference in the field. But I will say again, for $40 or so, on a new barrel job, heck, why not? Its certainly not something that will "hurt"...
Good post JE...next time I have another Sporter rebarreled I'll try one...do you prefer the stainless or CM ones?
