[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 155112, member: 8843"] If your gonna be shooting bigger critters like wolves then I would definatly get a fast twist and shoot the heavier bullets like the 55gr at a minimum. I've seen a few deer killed with a 22-250 Ai with 75gr A-max bullets and they worked very well out to 300yds which was the longest shot. one of the first guns I rebarreld (#4 I think) was an old Mauser 98 that was rechambered to 30-06 and had the old military barrel cut back to 24" The owner wanted to pass it alog to his son when he turned 16 just like his dad did with him so the boy could take his first buck with it just as his dad and grand dad did. We got Duglas to copy the conture with one of their CM XX barrels and we chambered it for 30-06 , I have a buddy that took the gun and parkerized it and gave it a weathered look. It looked just like it did 30 years earlier and it shot better than it ever had. Moral of the story , if the gun ahs feeling to you then give it a new lease on life with a new barrel ,heck you can even have the barrel shapped just like the one thats onit now. And I'll just ad that Nate does awsome work if your looking for a smith [/QUOTE]
