[QUOTE="mattman5000e, post: 274367, member: 4974"] In my experience, the very most important thing in buying a RUM is barrel contour. I had a fully tricked Rem. 700 in 3000RUM... action trued, "ultimate sniper" stock bedded right, etc. etc. It had a very thin Shilen bbl... about like the contour of a Tikka T3. Its not that it wasnt accurate, it was just so stupidly load sensitive that it wasnt worth owning unless I didnt hunt with it. To be specific, it would keep 180 nos bal tips in 1/2" all day, but THATS IT! Several other 180g bullets that I tried (your gonna think Im making this up) were turning in 4-5" groups. I sold the thing, bought a mildly tricked sendero and now I can shoot whatever I want. [/QUOTE]
