[QUOTE="RAT807, post: 1253078, member: 33244"] I have my dad's Winchester 70 264 Mag built in 1965 and just had a new barrel installed. I had a Kreiger 4 grove cut to 26" and a straight taper done. The smith had to remove some wood to fit the larger profiled barrel but every other thing was great and no more work was done. I asked about installing pillars and bedding the action. He said shoot it first. I have already shot several groups in the 1/2" or better at 100 yards and I haven't tested bullet seating depths plus had 3 groups with extreme spreads of 14, 10 and 2 ft/ ps. YMMV but mine was worth a new barrel [/QUOTE]
