[QUOTE="B23, post: 1013578, member: 13222"] Opinions may vary but it's been my experience light contour barrels don't like to be driven very hard. You have a light sporter barrel a big case and you're going to push heavy for caliber bullets. I wouldn't be to surprised if your accuracy node comes in at a slower FPS than you'd expect. That may not be the case with yours, only time will tell. FWIW, if this isn't a rifle you absolutely need right now, I'd be all for hanging a new 28in. 1-10tw Sendero contour aftermarket tube on it with a good quality cut chamber and crown. It'll probably shoot everything well and, likely, at a higher level of performance. I don't have a lot of faith in factory barrels and chambers these days. Sometimes you luck out and get a good one but I'll take my chances with a aftermarket barrel any day of the week over a factory barrel and chamber. [/QUOTE]
