[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2206895, member: 48043"] I wouldn't put huge $$ into a rifle with rather high throat erosion rate. To get speed out of a 28N you will have to push her a bit. My brother gave me a Brux 8 twist in 28N to re-barrel a tired 7rum; the 'smith had to take over an inch off of the shank to get full enough rifling to get the pilot tight (I decided to stay 7rum so we had to re-chamber) after 57 rounds. I'm a good bit lucky my brother bought a long shank blank to start with. Yes, a barrel is a bit like a set of tires and replaceable, but I'm still not willing to toss over a thousand at a re-barrel with another carbon wrapped barrel every year or two either. [/QUOTE]
