[QUOTE="dougm, post: 339807, member: 5372"] [IMG]http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff274/dodgydoug07/7dakotaforinternet.jpg[/IMG] Decided to makeover the 7 Dakota with a new barrel chambered by Kevin Cram of Montour County Custom Rifles. It's a Hart barrel with a 1:9 twist, and I also had Kevin bush the firing pin while he was at it. Hoping to break it in this weekend and do the load development. Yep it's a long barrel, 25 inches before brake!!!! I wanted to be able to get the 180 Bergers to 2900 fps and according to Quickload I was gonna need the length to do it. I plan on just shooting the 180's primarily and want to get the most out of them for long distance shooting. At 11.5 pounds as pictured it won't break my back carrying it either. I might even take this one to Africa next spring as one of my three guns. Doug [/QUOTE]
