[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 160748, member: 8843"] I assume that your reloading for the H&H to get any kind of respectible velocity out of it. their would be some velocity gain with the longer barrel but in my oppinion it woulden't be worth the added weight and trouble of carrying. I personaly would not rebarrel the gun inthat caliber , feel that their are better performing rounds out their that are less trouble to reload for and have a larger selection of factory ammo available also , the 300 Win mag comes to mind first and formost. But its your gun and if that is the caliber that you want to shoot then it sounds like a good idea for you. if this is gonna be a "mountain" style rifle and the weight is gonna be an issue I would rebarrel it with a 26" maybe a 28" barrel in one of the 5R rifled barrels from either Rock Creek , Obermeyer , Broughton or Bartlin , the 5R rifleing will give you a little more velocity without any added powder. And for the conture I'd go wiht say a medium Palma conture or light varmint conture , I personaly like fluted barrels so mine would be fluted , get a good stock in the desgine you want and you should be set.
