[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 71518, member: 10"] JDJones, Generally the larger the barrel shoulder is the more weight you can have hanging off your receiver, at least to the structural limits of the receiver. For receivers with a 1" diameter thread like the Rugers and Winchesters I would recommend a minimum of a 1.150" barrel shank and would prefer a 1.200". For the Rem, Wbys and anything else with a 1.0625" thread diameter I like a 1.200" as min and prefer a 1.250" diameter barrel. Basically, I like my barrel shoulders to be at least 0.065" deep. The larger the barrel diameter the stiffer then will be. Again, barrel length plays a large role in stiffness but for a given barrel length, the larger the diameter the stiffer the barrel. I never recommend using a barrel that is larger in diameter then the receiver unless the receiver will be floated by the use of a barrel bedding V-Block and even then it is really not needed. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
