[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 117842, member: 2011"] GSSP, I'd recommend the #4 just from my single experience. Several years ago I replaced a Douglas Premium sporter weight bbl 24" long with a Lilja #4 27" long. A 308 cal is a bit larger than a 277 cal so you'll gain a small bit of weight advantage there plus the inch of length. I asked Dan Lilja for a recommendation of a rifle smith to fit the barrel. He recommended Ray Montgomery of Grand Junction CO. Ray did a quality job including all of the accurizing things to the Mauser 98 action, matt finish and a cool looking black blue job, with a couple of week turn around at a reasonable price. Heck, I didn't know all of the action/bolt things were even considered but what I've found out since is that the good smiths always do all of the things necessary to ensure the best performance unless the customer specifies something less. As for settling for sub moa @ 500 yds, Huh! If bedded properly I'd bet more like 1/4 MOA @ 100 with proportional increase with distance. Also you'll be wanting to keep that Nikon on it. You'll see why after you get her broke in. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Also I like your camo style. Its a good thing when a fella has the nads to do the scope too. [/QUOTE]
