[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 944807, member: 2736"] There is a safe way to lighten a barrel that long without risk of effecting accuracy buy re-contouring it. For hunting I would recommend shortening it to 24" you wont lose much velocity and it will be much handier when hunting. Also there is a good chance that accuracy will improve with the shorter/ stiffer barrel. If it is fluted you will not be able to remove that much, but even a 26'' barrel will remove lots of weight and still be handy. Also a new crown never hurts. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
