[QUOTE="Ranger1992, post: 443020, member: 23128"] [FONT=Calibri]Troutslayer2, Thanks for the info but I'm not willing to rebarrel this rifle. It's a cooper excalibur and it's my new hunting rifle and I hunt mostly wilderness pretty deep so the length and weight are a pretty important factor for me.
