[QUOTE="NickW, post: 2763895, member: 102067"] Regarding pre-fit barrels, pre-fit barrels are cut for a particular action that are designed to accept prefit barrels. The action and barrel tenon needs to be cut precisely so the head space can be set (for a shouldered pre-fit) when you screw the barrel on. If you’re talking about using a remage or savage barrel nut and a prefit, you’ll set the head space. Regarding your caliber choice, I’d stick with 260AI. Def the easy button and the animal will not know the difference. However you can determine this yourself based on needs-determine max range you’d engage an animal and then plug in your bullet and velocity into JBM and look at your velocity and energy. Numbers will tell you what you need. That said, if you just want another rifle, then go for it. I have a friend who has several rifles in 260 AI and he and another friend have both taken elk with them. Very capable and very pleasant to shoot. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
