[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1385704, member: 12995"] Thanks. The only time that rifle is ever getting sent to a smith is when the barrel finally burns out. And when it does, I'll honor it by having the action fully blueprinted, and a Bartlein 5R Sendero blank identically fluted and chambered in 7mm STW screwed onto it, so it still looks and feels the exact same, but with a fresh high quality tube. My local smith does a great job, and does it quick, but for this task for a rifle that means this much to me, I'll probably send it off to one of the big name pro smiths like Chase Curtis, JE Custom, Kevin Cram, John Pierce, or Kirby. But that barrel's still got a lot of life left in it, so it will be on down the road before that happens. [/QUOTE]
