[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 501048, member: 30902"] That make sense. What is the current length of barrel? You might find yourself far, far ahead financially and have a great weapon by having that inch simply cut off and the crown recut. Have you shot any of the Rum's or the .338 Lapua so far? Are you comfortable with that much recoil? In my experience most people under the 200-225lbs range find it rather difficult to snuggle up to them for multiple shots without some rather extravagent and expensive modifications such as custom recoil reducing stocks especially in rifles below 14lbs, which is the upper limit on what most people consider to be a suitable pack rifle. If it would leave you 24" or more you should have adequte length for the STW for long range work. For the cost to do so I'd probably at least try it before spending the extra five hundred to thousand (have no idea what your gunsmith charges) unless you just simply want to try the Rum or Lapua and this makes for a good excuse for the wife... HA Just a thought... . [/QUOTE]
