[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 335247, member: 9253"] For a "no gunsmithing" 17 Rem, 204 Ruger, or 223 Varminter Shilen makes a nice 24" heavy barrel complete with matching bolt. Available from http//www.midwayUSA.com. You'll also need a gas block and gas tube but they're standard sizes. I have one in 17 Remington. In 223 just about everyone makes 223 24" heavy barrels. Krieger offers a 26". Pricy but excellent. For less money Model One Sales has 24" heavy SS ER Shaw barrels. They also offer a 24" 6PPC but that means using a 7.62x39 bolt and a little adjusting of the magazines. Still nothing I'd call gunsmithing you can't do at home. Even Walmart sells 40 grain 223. The others are more expensive to shoot unless you handload. I'd suggest you look at the ballistics of each and take advice from those who hunt prairie dogs. I don't. [/QUOTE]
