[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1352338, member: 42308"] I am all for it. It's a great idea that sounds like a ton of fun! **** the barrel life, even 500 rounds of life will last years and years at 10 rounds a year for hunting. Or have a great time and plan to replace it when accuracy tapers off. Barrels are a perishable asset, off with the old, on with the new. A 30" barrel should get you about everything, in terms of velocity. If it was my build, I would either fit a straight 7 twist or order a transitional twist from Kreiger or benchmark that goes from 8" twist to 7" twist at the muzzle to be sure you have adequate stability in all possible conditions with the heavy for caliber 6.5 bullets. Stock up an 8# of Norma 217 or R-33 and let that big dog eat!! [/QUOTE]
