[QUOTE=".30US, post: 893352, member: 19108"] Thanks, Jcub. After significant pondering (often a lot of time for that on deployment), and J E's advice. This project will be a .308. As my goal is to build long range rifles for others eventually, I think I'm going to start from scratch to test out my business plan. I think I'm going to go with a new 700 receiver from Brownell's, which also allows me to figure out over time what I want to do with my two beloved 40X rifles; I'm pretty sure one is going to end up a 7mm of some sort with that Bartlein 5R barrel, though. I'm looking at ordering a 1:10" Pac-Nor Chrome Moly Match barrel in a Varminter/Sendero contour, which I will finish at 24"-26". I want to shoot 180 grain Sierra GameKings primarily, as they are the most reasonably priced, relatively-high BC bullet I have found. I expect to hunt deer and hogs around 400+ yards with this rifle and punch paper, once in a while, out to 1,000. Any opinions on number of grooves in the barrel to order? I've found about as many people swearing by fewer grooves as recommending more grooves. Pac-Nor offers 3 and 5 groove with 1:10" twists. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
