I bought it used a couple of years ago and considering re-barreling it. Last year's sight in grouped <2" @ 300 yards with 180g factory load Corelokts despite 25 MPH winds.

Anyways, here's my newbie and budget (need approximate cost) conscious questions ... - Barrel (Lilja, etc...) - Groove - Length - Contour - and any other accurizing work that you would recommend Rifle weight is not an issue and it will be used primarily on antelope, deer, and elk in the wide open prairies of the big sky country. I have other rifles to match other type of hunting environments. Thank you in advance for your support and understanding. V/R Ed [/QUOTE]
