[QUOTE="kc0pph, post: 539377, member: 35934"] Ok how about some specifics here now, enough with the less important things. How does a 28" barrel with a Ross Break. Will 30" with the Ross make any difference? Possibly 32". I dont care about barrel length but would like to get the best preformance. I am not worried about weight but i think a barrel needs a contour for asteics. (A weapon must shoot well, and not be a sore for the eye). What would be a good contour for the barrel, possibly directly below the Straight barrel. Rifling (spelled wrong but then again i cant spell anyways): What would be a good twist rate, and number of grooves. I hear a lot of rage from a 5 groove but is that the way to go? Also the diamiter that will work best. Also dumb question but does the barrel need the crown with a ross break (and im hoping it can be removable, not the crown silly). If so does Darryl Holland's 11 degree with the 65 degree work well or is there a new one. I plan to have the chamber cut for 300 Gn Sierra MatchKings, and hoping that i can still run some Berger VLD's down and some lighter bullets just for fun. In Reply to your post Richard a laser range finder is being developed by my father and is in the latter stages of testing. My Reloading bench consists of a RockChucker, Lyman Case Trimmer/tumbler, plus the accessories to make them all work. As for dies i will probably go with the pre made ones from Defensive edge unless someone can get them to me cheaper. I have a Smith now who has put in a bid. I am thinking i will go with him. I believe it was just over 500 for: (but do not quote me) BluePrinting/Lapping (175), Chambering/Crowning (175), Ross Break + Instalation (90) and a few other items. 200 Seems a bit steep for a bedding job and i may use a stock that does not need bedded, and then if i decide to do it, use the oozing JB Weld techneque. Optics will be a Barska 4-16 x 50 That i have laying around. Its not the best but it is not being used and allows me to push more mula to the rifle. A scope is an easy addition at a later time.
