[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 35712, member: 10"] Dakor, Do not get me wrong, you may full well get 200 fps more velocity with the Lilja barrel, it will not be simply because of barrel length though. You will get more velocity from the tight match grade bore and mirror smooth bore finish as well as gained velocity with a quality chamber job. Remember, if your comparing a factory REm barrel to the Lilja, its like comparing a 350 chevy V-8 that billy bob rebuilt in his garage, to a NASCAR V-8 of roughly the same size that produces twice the power. Its all in the componants used as far as gains and losses, that and quality machining is just as important. I've got a stainless Rem 700 26" take off barrel in 375 RUM if you want it, $100 + shipping or fitting cost. Its only had about 75 rounds throw the bore. I know this because it used to be the barrel on my 257 STW Rem action that I baught new. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
