[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 215362, member: 8843"] since you already have a barrel in route then I'd say go ahead and have it installed and strat with a good base. As for what to have done? well as long as the smith has the action their and apart you may as well eliminate as many variables as possible and have the action blueprinted this is gonna run around $175 give or take and is argueably a waste of time depending on who you talk to , personaly its money well spend to ensure all is well and one less thing to worry about. I personaly would leave the barrel as long as possible that extra couple inches is not going to add enogugh weight to realy matter and that weight can be trimmed else where , but a 24" barrel is plenty to get good speeds out of the 300WSM and with the 210 Berger or the 200gr accubonds for that matter , its certainly a 600yd rifle if you have your ducks in a row. Go ahead and spend the extra $30 on a good ground recoil lug yet another little thing less to worry about later if the gun doesen't shoot. and you can use your B&C stock it'll just have to be inletted for the heavier barrel and I suggest fully bedding the action , more money well spent to ensure good accuracy As for the chamber , well thats an area of great debate , if you want to feed from the factroy mag then your gonna have to seat those long VLD's way deep in the case , this both decreases the amout of powder you can put in their and will eliminate the chanes of seating the bullet to touch the lands with a standard cut chamber. In a conventional chamber you will probably be able to feed from the mag with hunting bullets and get close to the lands but I highly doubt that it'll happen with the Bergers. [/QUOTE]
