[QUOTE="speedbump, post: 23435, member: 547"] I think Steve's onto something. Shroud, rings/bases, are a good start. I wouldn't mess with the barrel unless it's a last resort. Don't mess with your accuracy unless it's broke. You might consider pulling the barrel & action & milling the barrel channel @ 1/4" wider around the barrel. That'll let the barrel cool faster & take off a few ounces without affecting accuracy. Fluting will cost @ $150, depending on a lot of factors such as barrel length, number of flutes, etc. You might also look at pulling the buttplate & milling/drilling some 1/2" holes into the buttstock for weight reduction & balance. Of course, your stock will dictate what you can & can't d with it. Good luck! [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img] [ 09-26-2002: Message edited by: speedbump ] [/QUOTE]
