[QUOTE="KRob, post: 802123, member: 2957"] Thanks for all the responses. In my spare time i have been reading all the threads i can that have come up in my searches....lots of information. I will be doing my own smithing, friend of mine knows what he is doing and is going to educate me. I already have a finishing reamer and go-no go gauges, but thank you Aldon, i am going to send you a message though about your barrel. Midway has Shileans, and Green Mountain barrels. Most of the reviews were pretty good about the Green Mountain barrels and they were just under a hundred. I am betting though that is considered a cheap, nasty barrel by most of you though. Bullet weight, After doing some more reading it doesn't seem like the bullet weight in this cartridge is really going to matter. Any of the weights will hit a Deer and drop it....correct me if i am wrong. How light of a bullet can a 1-8 shoot or a 1-9. I am thinking for plinking varmints? Any Barrel manufactures that i should look at? Diriel--You are right i was thinking about a shorter barrel so that it is easier to handle, in all situations, however i will probably end up with something more like 22-24 in. Always open to suggestions from anyone....never done this before so i'm always listening. Thanks Rob [/QUOTE]
