[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 439186, member: 5219"] What about a custom reamer? We had Pacific Tool and Gauge do the one that my friends and I used. We sent in a dummy round with the 115 Berger VLD seated to our specs. Then we talked about how much freebore. We opted for less than Weatherby uses. End result? Five rifles were built all are tackdrivers with the 115 VLD. Other details: All five barrels were Lilja 1 in 10 3 groove SS barrels. Two were #5 profile fluted, three were #3 profile, one cut at 24", two at 26". Four elk have been taken by the guy who just loves carrying around his 24" rifle. He has also taken 3 mule deer. The rest of us use ours for coues wt. That 24" rifle is a model 700 in an edge stock with a Leupold 3.5-10 x 40 with a turret. He had as much metal machined off as possible. It weighs just under 6 1/2 lbs. [/QUOTE]
