[QUOTE="jimsbriar, post: 674053, member: 50666"] no offese taken. this is all new to me! I want to build a long range hunting rifle in 260 rem. that being said it needs to be a reasonably comfortable rifle to hike with (8-9lbs? maybe a bit more?), but fully capable of taking shots out past 500 yards with reliable accuracy. This will not be a bench rifle, but I do want a finished product capable of giving me 1/2" MOA with 130 gr. accubonds or SSTs or similar as for a DIY, yes, I plan to build the rifle myself start to finish on a savage action. I am quite comfortable doing all this work. but, I do not want to make a mistake selecting the wrong barrel for my application. so, this is where I need some good advice from those that have been there. barrel manufacturer?: contour?: crown type?: AND, any other suggestions you may have!!! hope this additional info helps. thanks everyone!!
