[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 357742, member: 2736"] If you are looking for a light weight rifle the 20" barrel will be fine. But for targets out to 600 to a 1000 yards. a 26" heavy barrel will do better.(Some where around a Sendero taper or heaver). The 308 can use the extra velocity with the bigger bullets (168+grs) and a 26 to 28" barrel will work best. As to the barrel type and rifling , Any good custom barrel will work, and rifling (Cut or button with 3,4,5,6 and 8 grooves ) will shoot great as long as the smith does his part, 6 and 8 grooves are normally preferred for target bullets because of jacket thickness but the others will work. I hope this helps. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
