[QUOTE="KRob, post: 801682, member: 2957"] Everyone, all of my rifles have been off the shelf....well everyone one of my hunting rifles. My plan is to piece together a light medium game hunting rifle in 6.5x55 on a Mauser action. I have a Mauser 98 action and a few other bits and pieces. The next major step is the barrel, which is my first question. Barrel requirements: Light weight, light on the pocket book, reasonably accurate. Questions: 1. Where to get a Barrel?....i have found some on Midway and one on Brownells, however there has to be more options. 2. Twist Rate, i am not certain what bullet weight i want to be shooting and i am looking for suggestions. Rifle will be primarily for Deer (Mule Deer mainly) however the rifle could get used for elk or varmints Thanks Rob [/QUOTE]
