[QUOTE="Brent, post: 4538, member: 99"] CSA, Welcome to the forum. I agree with both guys here and would only add a couple things, most everyone in competition is using SS barrels these days, for the extra barrel life in the throat area. The stiffness of a barrel is related to the diameter as well as the length, and most guys are using much heavier contour barrels when going to 30” and beyond to retain rigidity. A custom barrel will serve you well in any contour, but you are likely going to want the heavier weight barrel to keep heat build up down and offer better stability as well. What do you hunt with the 25-06? How far do you practice at normally, and what is your favorite bullet to use in that one?
