Which barrel would best serve my needs????
Right now I have a Remington model 700 SPS Stainless in .257 Weatherby. This rifle is pure stock right now, and I love it, but i'm doing some work on it this summer. I'm purchasing a HS Precision Stock, but i'm lost as to the barrel to use.
I shoot often with this rifle, i'm very confident in this rifle, and have taken 3 whitetails, and 1 antelope this year, all betwee 480 yds. and 560 yds.(stating this only for sake of the conversation). This gun is very accurate, sub-moa, but I feel that customizing this rifle over the summer, will make it even better. Hoping to gain the extra confidence to step up the next level (out to 800 yds) of long range hunting. Will a new barrel subsatantially increase the accuracy of my rifle? If so which barrel(fluted)/contour would be best for my needs? Not to mention, i'm adding the new stock for sure. I love long range shooting and hunting, but i'm not a junky per se, so I could use some help.
I know Krieger has long lead times, but have heard they are "not" for hunting.
Thanks Guys
