[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1482864, member: 52437"] I am planning on having my Remington 700 rebarreled after this hunting season. It is a Remington 700 mountain SS in 3006 which has a pencil thin barrel which is even skinnier than a sporter barrel and shoots 1.25-1.5inch groups which is not really that good. It has been bedded in the stock and has a Timney trigger in it set to about 2.5lbs. It does work for my needs of being a big timber woods gun where 100 yard shots are the norm but there are chances for an occasional 250-300 yard shot. My plan is to rebarrel it with a sporter weight barrel as I want to keep the gun at a decently light weight and I want to re-use the bell and Carlson stock it came in with out having to inlet it too much for the thicker barrel. Since I'm changing barrels I may consider changing calibers as well so I'm open to thoughts on that as well. So what say you, which barrel manufacturers should I look into and which calibers? I don't mind keeping it in 3006 either. My end hope is a sub 1 MOA rifle. I know the rifle is perfectly fine for a deer hunting rifle out to 300 yards but it just bugs me that I cant get it sub MOA.
