[QUOTE="Fire306, post: 713250, member: 12409"] Looking for some input here. I have a Sako 75 in 7mmSTW. It has a 26" barrel with a threaded brake installed, previous to me owning it. I have long wanted to custom barrel a rifle, so I think this will be the one. Here in Canada, gunsmiths are few and far between, and selection is more limited than in the USA. There is 2 reputable guys I am looking at, and they offer different barrel types. Here is the options. Broughton, Krieger, Shilen, and McGowen Is there any of these manufacturers that shine out above the rest, or that I should stay away from? I would like to stay with something close to the factory profile, meaning lighter, as this is a hunting rifle. A little heavier barrel would be OK, but nothing like a varmint style. Likely have something with a finished length of 26-27", probably without a brake. 1-9 twist rate as well. I enjoy shooting with the brake at the range, but don't like that I can't just thread it off and head out hunting without re-sighting the rifle. Any input would be appreciated, I am hoping to send this one out to be done as soon as hunting seasons are over for the year. [/QUOTE]
