[QUOTE="bronco, post: 656598, member: 48575"] So as I have continued my research I have taken a hard look at all the big named barrel companies. This is what I am leaning towards for little if any in-letting. Broughton 4.1 MAGNUM SPORTER .850" down to .660" At 28" finish 4.2lbs I have been weighing the choice of a 26" to 28" still but as this is a 30" blank I can have either .660 at the muzzle at 28" and by my math it would be .676 at 26" or .668 at 27" Would the 28" to long for the light barrel and .338 pill? (whipping?) Would The barrel perform better at 26" because its a little stiffer I have decided on a 1in10 twist, DE .750 Brake and 11 degree crown as well. I am still open to conventional or 5c Rifling. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
