[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1043956, member: 52437"] thanks for the comments! I think what we will do is go for just a 20in barrel from apache gun works. He uses ER SHAW barrel blanks and while they aren't of high quality, many people report good to great accuracy out of them especially if he is the one doing the cutting and crowning. He only charges ~200 dollars for them. I am leaning for just a regular sporter contour since it will not be used for long range hunting, but he can also do a heavy sporter/savage magnum contour if I would like. For her situation I think the heavy sporter will be just extra weight added which then I will likely have to inlet the stock somewhat which im a bit fearful of sanding out and re-finishing a finished wood stock (I have only inletted synthetic stocks to date). I figured if we get the cut and crowned ER SHAW in sporter the chances of it shooting sub MOA are good. She can use this for as long as she likes. Then if she really starts getting into longer ranges later on, we can build her a new long range dedicated rig OR rebarrel this rig with a heavier contour nice barrel from one of the more upper quality barrel makers.
