[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 2756962, member: 73596"] I agree with everyone that suggested shooting out the one you have, or remove and sell/donate the one you have to a worthy recipient. My perspective on it would lean toward removing it for the following reasons: 1. The cost in dollars/effort/patience of burning components and trying to replace them is tougher than finding a good quality aftermarket barrel. 2. I hear all this chatter about long lead times for barrels. To be honest, I have only found this to be true in the cases where people either only want to buy directly from the factory, or from one specific vendor, or when they only want to use a certain brand assuming that they are hands and arms above the rest (not true of any manufacturer), or were not willing budge a little on contour. Or they are only wanting to order from their gunsmith, who may or may not have all the search capability/willingness to reduce timeframes. 3. I built a 7 Sherm Max for a friend who lives in one of those states that does not allow bullets with any lead to be used for hunting. So, good bullets with high SD and good BC in monos require more twist than similar bullets that contain lead, so the 8 twist was much more desirable than the 9 twist. 4. If this is a hunting rig, typically lightweight is more desirable. Proof or carbon six seem to always be available, they are great barrels and I would tend to think that the heat dissipating characteristics of a carbon fiber barrel would be significantly beneficial to a cartridge that burns that much powder. 5. Don't be a sheep. Be a wolf....do it your way! Best of luck [/QUOTE]
