[QUOTE="merbeau, post: 1234053, member: 38494"] I have a FN Mauser Large Ring that was originally part of a JC Higgins Model 50 that had been re-barreled to 22-250 Ackley. The twist of this barrel is 1:14 which is little to slow for what I want to do, which is shoot 69 grain Scenar L type bullets primarily at 600 yard local matches. I am looking at purchasing a Lothar Walther match barrel, conical contour in non stainless because I want it to be blued with 1:9 twist. Lothar offers finished barrels that are delivered with a finished match chamber little deeper than final headspace and thread for Mauser98 action. Final headspacing can be adjusted by turning at breech end by a gunsmith. This barrel looks like it is in between a standard and heavy varmint contour. Question 1: I have read that contours greater than heavy varmint should not be attached to a Mauser action because it might bend the action - is this true? Question 2: I have ordered a GRS stock for the receiver/barrel. They recommend that the action/barrel be pillar bedded. Erniesgunsmith offers aluminum Pillars, Model BH-1 for F.N. Commercial Mausers. Would these be suitable to use? Thanks Robert [/QUOTE]
