[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 1862661, member: 1951"] I wouldn’t go longer than 24”. Why? Maybe even 22”. I also think you might look at a chromoly Shilen....Brownell’s and MidwayUSA have them in stock. They are good barrels and will take a nice matching blue finish. You might consider transferring the open sights over too. 300 Sherman or 30-06 AI are great, but 30-06 still gets the job done. I would hand your rifle over to a good smith that can do what you want. Recutting the current checkering and refinishing the stock with a nice rich oil finish would be pretty cool. Change out the pad for a nice red one. Maybe adjust the LOP for you. The optic is probably tired. Maybe need a new optic and mount. I really like a traditional hunting rifle done well. They can really be more huntable than so many of the tactical magical stuff. This rifle would be able to shoot. The idea that we all need SS cut rifled barrels from Kreiger, Bartlein, etc is crap.
