[QUOTE="tgonza, post: 1618587, member: 10660"] I am not an expert machinist by any stretch of the imagination, although my dad was a machinist is for many years for Cummins diesel. Unfortunately he passed away before I started my barrel machining. That being said, I have done a few barrels, some at a Gunsmithing class and some at home on my older Jet lathe. The ones I did at home actually came out pretty well using rented reamers. I used finish reamers for both barrels. My grandson shot an antelope with a 6 mm BR that I built on a sporter barrel at 380 yards. He also shot a a 4x4bull elk with a 284 Winchester I built on a short action. Both of these were Savages which are ears easier than doing a Winchester or a Remington. [/QUOTE]
