[QUOTE="MW204, post: 2365264, member: 118876"] As I said some smiths won't do a take-off barrel off of eBay, but here's an example of a Rem 26" 300 WM I just put on one of my rifles that had a 458 WM barrel on it. I have bought a few take-off barrels and have had good luck with them, but as I said above I don't work for the public, and those that I give the gun to also gets a load that I worked up that will at least do 3/4" at 100, but most are closer to 1/2". The family members who I give the guns to are not into long-distance shooting, most stay under 400 yds, but if the price is an issue for you and your smith will do it I've had excellent results from take-off barrels. Here's my first 2-shot group with the 26" 300 WM I put on a Rem action with factory ammo. I'd bet the bank I can make it shoot better than this with reloads.
