[QUOTE="Mike375, post: 59439, member: 227"] I have owned lots of each and have quite a bit of money tied up in Wbys from their custom shop. Your question as to will they do a 26 inch barrel for the standard calibre, then answer is yes but it will cost heaps because it will take you to another part of Wby. You can order a Wby with a Krieger cut rifling barrel but you can't do that by just a paying a few dollars in addition to their standard rifle. If your goals are in the accuracy end of town and you think you might want go full steam ahead then Remington is a better choice by far than Wby. A couple of simple reasons. You can't get a 3 lever trigger for a Wby. The bedding configuration of the Rem 700 is much better than the Wby and especially if you want a swithc barrel rifle which requirs the barrel to have no bedding under the first nch or so. The Wby is for some people, and I am one of them, a very eye catching rifle. The action is very fast and slick to use but only in my opinion if all your rifles are Wby. Mixing between the 90 degree bolt lift of Rem/Win and the 54 degree of the Wby seems to make things awkward. In terms of accuracy an analogy might be that a Wby and especially via their custom shop is like a Chev Corvette and the Rem is like getting an old Camaro and spending money doing it right up....it will [censored] all over the Corvette down the drag strip. Hope that is of some help for you. Mike [/QUOTE]
