[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 441728, member: 24284"] raysugar, sounds like you've got a target set-up in mind (I wouldn't want to carry it any further than the bench!). If you're looking to purchase a "pre-threaded and chambered barrel and just 'screw it on' and get target accuracy, well,,,, I just don't know. That's not the way 'target rifles' are built. For best accuracy, have the barrel custom fitted by the barrel maker or gunsmith of your choice. Have the action 'trued'. Forget "drop in'. "Cheap" doesn't 'fit' with what you want to achive.
