[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 174258, member: 2011"] It's a pretty straight forward solution. When a new barrel is necessary its an opportunity to have what you really want, which is a good thing. Nothing wrong w/the 300 Wby and you already have all the stuff to reload for it. (Sorry, I always think cheap:() Truing a Wby action may not be all that much fun but I suppose its doable. Contact one of the smiths on this forum and get their input. A #4 Lilja contour would be about right and finish to maybe 27" w/o flutes would be a good choice. Flutes on that light of a barrel I wonder if it would be necessary. I have one in 270 Win and its a bit heavy but about right for a carry gun and heavy enough for LRH and accurate as heck. The brake would be the key. The smiths know about those too. Do a search or post for response from the smiths. I'd name some of them but won't cause I'd leave some out and there are some I don't know. Give it a go. [/QUOTE]
