[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 977365, member: 2736"] +1 30 to 31'' barrels are very long especially with a 4'' brake added and the small gain of 1 or 2 more inches of barrel is not worth the problems In My Opinion,so that is also what I would recommend for a finished barrel length, The Palma or something slightly larger/heaver is also what I would recommend but not to much heavier. And yes , I would bed 1 to 1.5 inches of the shank to help support the barrel and protect the bedding from action flexing. Just make sure that you don't bed past the point that the contour starts. (Stay on the straight shank only with the bedding). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
