[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1236721, member: 69478"] Looking into doing a Remington with the Savage style barrel and nut. I normally have access to my Uncle's lathe and he does my barrel work, but he is backed up and I don't want to bother him about it. I am looking into Criterion, McGowen, and X-Caliber. My cousin has an X-Caliber on his .270 WSM and it shoots as good or better than our other rifles. The X-Caliber Remage barrel is a little more money than the others, but I know they are good barrels. I have heard good things about Criterion and McGowen barrels, so I need to choose between the three. This barrel will be replacing the factory one on my Remington 700 Long Range. My factory barrel is very picky and will shoot certain bullets outstanding but will shoot 2" groups with others, even after a lot of load development. I will most likely go with a .300 Win Mag again because of all the components I already have. I have always liked the 7mm SAUM but I have a hard time finding brass for it and have no experience with it. The .28 Nosler also interests me, but the brass is very expensive. Not really interested in any other .30cal besides the .300 WM because I don't see a point in changing to another .30 when I have all the brass and the dies for the Win Mag and won't gain much in performance. Mainly looking at a 7mm to try something different, but not dead set on one. Thanks for any input or advice. [/QUOTE]
