[QUOTE="bronco, post: 654836, member: 48575"] I currently own a Rem 700 BDL SS in 300 RUM (not a Sendero). I put it in a Bell and Carlson Alaskan II stock with a full aluminium bedding block and a 15" LOP. I would like to keep that stock and not modify it. That being said I now want to rebarrel it to 338RUM. The stock is fit for a Remington Magnum Contour Barrel. Looking for as much range as possible but I know with a barrel that thin, I will be limited. I want to keep the weight down but still balance long range accuracy. 1. What are my contour options for a custom barrel that will fit in this stock? 2. What length should I be looking at? 26"or 28" 3. I am looking to shoot 250grn pills. What twist should I be looking at? 4. Thoughts on muzzle brakes? Brands and models? 5. Thoughts on barrel crown options? 6. Barrel brands? Who should I be looking at and is there any to avoid? Thanks, Bronco [/QUOTE]
