[QUOTE="Joel Russo, post: 847063, member: 6152"] There's always that one guy....:rolleyes: A few years back, I had a 34" Krieger 1.450" .338 barrel that was chambered and threaded. I sent it back to Krieger and they re-contoured it to 1.350" for 5" then a straight taper to 1.100". They did tell me that they would not guarantee how it would shoot. No worries on my end, I had others on the shelf if this one would not produce... After I got the barrel back from Krieger, I stuck it in the mill and fluted it. Yeah, I know what you're thinking... The barrel was then re-chambered and installed. Much to my surprise, I have shot ridiculously tight groups with that barrel all the way out to one mile. Yep, I'm that one guy.... [/QUOTE]
