[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1275807, member: 52437"] All, I currently have a Remington 700 stainless in a sporter B and C stock with timney trigger. The barrel is a pencil thin barrel and does ok for groups. It averages 1.25inches at 100 yards. This rifle was never meant to be a long range rifle and I still don't want it to be but im bored, have some extra cash so I figured I might just rebarrel it. It is currently a 3006. I want to keep the rifle light since it is a back packing hunting rifle and will never see shots past 300-400 yards (95% shots will be under 200 yards). I don't need any ultra expensive barrel but don't want cheap less accurate. I would like a barrel that can do consistent 3 shot groups at 1MOA or under and is light so do not want a varmint contour or anything near that thick. This will be a deer rifle but if a black bear stepped out id shoot it. I like 3006 but do not need to stay with it. Even though I am a hand loader I do not want any wild cat chamberings. I do like bigger holes and the smallest id go would be in the 284/7mm chamberings. I am open to any and all thoughts on where to send my rifle for rebarreling. Should I get it blue printed as well? What kind of costs can I be looking at? and should I stick with 3006 or change to something else? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
