[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1974553, member: 69192"] You can go crazy with barrel lengths and barrel twists and all of that stuff, but.....in the end you have to decide what you want to do with this rifle and how you want it to shoot. It is nice to read about all the modifications that are being done to rifles to make them shoot and to get that "infinite" last drop of accuracy and muzzle velocity out of a rifle. Just because the barrel has been changed to a longer one with a different twist does not make it a shooter; and....sometimes this stuff can go sideways very quickly. If this rifle were mine I presently wouldn't mess with this rifle other than to glass bed the stock, float the barrel and pillar bed the action screws, get the trigger checked to make sure it doesn't have a recall on it, then either tweak the trigger or replace it with a Timney or Jewel trigger, and....then shoot the rifle to find out if it does what you want it to do. Also remember this is a Remington Classic, once the barrel is changed that pretty much ends that part of the rifle. I do not have a .264 WinMag, but do like the ballistics on the cartridge and find it to be a great rifle for the type of hunting you have described. It is also important that there will be a good $700-800+ price added to the cost of the rifle if you decide to rebarrel. Good luck with whatever way you decide to go. [/QUOTE]
