[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 35400, member: 2567"] Thanks for the info Kirby. At this point I am having a local gunsmith re-barrel my gun. He is going to blueprint the action and add a muzzle brake. After 50 rounds over the weekend, my shoulder hurts. It seems that remington's quality control is in the toilet. I have heard of several people that have returned guns to remington and when they got them back they still didn't shoot. One of my co-workers sent in a model 700 22-250 that was about 5 years old, had only seen factory ammo and only had less than 500 rounds. remington rebarreled the gun and installed and charged him for a new trigger(trigger had never been touched)they did not warrany his barrel and when he got the gun back it shot terrible. He sent it back again and they told him they could find nothing wrong, but when it returned for the second time it shot good. I wonder what remington would say or do if I just returned the barrel to them. Do you think I could get a replacement barrel from them? I am thinking of having my new barrel kept to maximum length, around 27 inches +-. Any thoughts? Should I consider changing to say a 225 grain bullet at around 3200 as a way to prolong barrel life? My local gunsmith says he is rebarreling 300 rum's on a constant basis because guys are severely shooting out the throats in 300 to 400 rounds. [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
