[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1460479, member: 31749"] I never ended up getting the rifle re-barreled. Found a couple different loads (running both Varget and H4350) that shot ~0.3-0.4MOA with single digit SDs running 120gr Nosler ballistic tips that have been absolutely devastating on the whitetails I hunt with this rifle, so the re-barrel project got pushed to the back burner. In the meantime I have become a bit of a Bergara supporter, I picked up a a B14 HMR in the same caliber (6.5 Creedmoor) that I have had excellent results with Hornady 143gr ELD-X at just under 2800fps with Alliant RE16 that shoots 0.20-0.25MOA with or without my Dead Air Sandman-S hung off the end. If I was doing everything again today for the hunting rifle I would order the B14 Ridge if I wanted a heavier barrel, they have an impressive selection of calibers in that one and comes with a threaded barrel in #5 contour that seems like is a perfect weight for a hunting rifle.
