[QUOTE="Zep, post: 740327, member: 39468"] I love this thread. "Gunsmith who is your best friend" - ain't that the truth. And - "Get the tooling and do it yourself" - actually I have been looking into lathes myself. You know, you can learn a heck of a lot on Youtube but it seems like a heck of an undertaking without a mentor or two. I have been thinking about the 260 Remington as it certainly looks good to me but a shooting buddy keeps poking me in the ribs with the Creedmore concept. There is brass available for the 260 but it does not appear all that easy to get for the Creedmore, maybe I am wrong (Sinclair, Midway). Certainly have to agree that anything you do is going to be a project, depends where you live I guess or how many telephone calls you want to make. The 308 is a favorite for the things you mention. I have a friend with a 308 shortened barrel probably for exactly the same reasons, I know he likes to walk and hunt in upper MI. He doesn't sit in a stand waiting for things to happen. [/QUOTE]
