[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1197860, member: 12995"] I built a custom off of my old A-Bolt II that the barrel went south on... Granted, I used a new factory take-off 26" Rem 700 barrel, that we milled-down the shank and tennon and threaded it for metric threads (Browning receivers use Metric threads) set the headspacing to +/- .0002", and hand-lapped, and custom target crowned it. Barrel shoots 1/2 to 5/8" 3-shot groups with minimum load development and 168 Berger VLD's. Paid less than $100 shipped for the brand new barrel on eBay, and then paid the smith to do the work. So, I revived a burnt-out Browning and made it a 1/2-MOA gun for less than $500. If interested, I can post some pictures of it. It's the world's first and only, and I call it "The Brownington".
