[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1518135, member: 12995"] I would suggest going with a 1:8 twist barrel, just incase you get a wild hair to try something heavier than the 160-168 grain bullets. Bartlein builds a really nice barrel. If you have the extra coin to drop, Proof Research carbon fiber barrels are really nice for saving weight, but giving very good accuracy from the added stiffness of the carbon fiber wrap. Also, 26" is standard for magnums, and if you go with a stainless barrel, fluting is a good option. I do highly recommend having the action fully blueprinted. Might also want to look into the new Berger 175 Elite Hunters as another good bullet option. It's a good compromise between velocity and weight for larger game. As for who to recommend, I have no idea. Lots of good gunsmiths out there. Where are you located? There might be a good smith near you. [/QUOTE]
