I've been slowly acquiring 220 components for some time now and I'm about ready to put in an order for a barrel, but I've got two options to consider.
1. I could take apart my Savage in 450 Bushmater that I haven't shot in years. I've got plenty of Savage parts laying around and the trigger on that particular action is awesome.
2. I also have a Remington long action that I rarely shoot. It started out as the Long Range 30-06 model, but the fouling on the barrel was awful. So I did the smart thing and had it re-bored to 9.3x62. It's a somewhat heavy barrel boomer that also just sits in the back of the safe as more of an oddity than a fun range gun.
I know I'll end up with a 26" barrel, standard 220 swift chamber, and likely a 1-7 twist. I'm just having a hard time deciding to order a Savage prefit, or a Remage prefit. Which would you go with for the project?
