[QUOTE="Bbear, post: 1086871, member: 7898"] One thing the others have left out is that going with an after-market barrel you can also get a rifle in a caliber not available with the main-stream manufacturers. 6.5 Creedmore was made 'legitimate' due to the number of shooters having barrels made in that caliber. You can also find some of the more obsolete or older cartridges by getting an after-market barrel. Not many makers are bringing out the newest 30/40 Krag models. Then there is the combining of options to get a rifle just like you want it, like the 358 winchester I have that is built on a Long action. Something that even when it was a 'common' caliber nobody made. Add to that, as was stated earlier, that you can get all sorts of barrel lengths, twist rates, contours etc with the after-market that just aren't available from the factories. Shoot a so-called 'barrel-burner' like a 264 Win Mag or a 7mm Rem Mag and you'll find after-market barrels will bring an old favorite back to life. [/QUOTE]
