[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 2530470, member: 21361"] Fellow riflemen. I hope to answer all your questions and greatly appreciate all your insights. The barrel in question was one of two custom made by Pence in Indiana and fluted by Skip Otto removing 1.3 pounds in the process. The original barrel was chambered for a Colorado rancher for long range Elk hunting. This was the spare barrel, which is unchambered. I competed in Long Range benchrest and have had experience with barrel bedding blocks which will encase this very large barrel. I don't think you can name a 338 rifle cartridge that I have not shot at NRA Whittington and to 1,000 yards I shoot the .338 Winchester magnum most accurately. I fully realize the action being attached to this full length bull barrel will simply be smaller. The news that Remington action shanks are larger surprised me, but I am not afraid to learn, which was the purpose of asking for your advice. Thank You, WW [/QUOTE]
