[QUOTE="1100 Remington Man, post: 1155157, member: 29824"] Some times its not the money to a point, but it's the loss of a rifle for months I wanted my Rifle a Model 70 XTR 264 Win Mag with a sporter barrel to have a heaver barrel like maybe a # 4 or 5 Fluted and 26-27 inches long in 8 1/2 twist since my factory barrel is only 24 inches long and I wanted all the performance I could get out of this caliber. I would like it to shoot Hornadys new 6.5 143gr ELD X In truth I don't think I would gain much my rifle currently groups under 2.5 inches at 300 Yds. with Nosler's 120gr 6.5 BT. which has worked well on Deer and Antelope. Even though I have it set up the shoot to 700 Yds as It is but, I never had a shot that far with my longest being just over 500 Yds. I would like a little heaver barrel for recoil but not a lot as when I hunt I walk a lot as last fall in Southeast Montana I put on 9-14 miles a day walking. I have a Remington 700 VSSF II in .223 Rem with 26 inch barrel with a Leupold VX III in 4.5x14 40mm and this is as much weight as I care to carry long distance. I just wish there would of been a Gunsmith around where I lived when I Cerkote my rifle and put on a HS Precison stock and glass bedded it, would of liked to have done barrel at the time but with long waits for a barrel and not knowing a good Gunsmith to do the work. I just stuck with what I had maybe some day. [/QUOTE]
