[QUOTE="1100 Remington Man, post: 933033, member: 29824"] When I rebuilt my .264 Win Mag. I thought about a different barrel, I was thinking I would like a 26 to 27 inch barrel instead of the 24 inch barrel it came with so I could shoot heavier low drag bullets. I also thought a little extra accuracy wound not hurt. Well after searching barrel Manufacture's & Gunsmith's, I gave up, why because Gunsmiths did not seem to want to do just a rebarrel job, they want to true action & all there other accuracy tricks also, well my problem is I did not want to spend that much period. I always thought the customer was the Boss. I also could not believe the time from Barrel Manufacture's to get a barrel. So I stuck with the factory barrel & am shooting 120gr BT Nosler bullets in my .264 Win Mag. & it shoots under 2.5 inch groups at 300 yds & this is good enough for Deer & Antelope hunting for me. Would I like it to be better yes but in truth this has performed. I practice long range & do a little Prairie Dog shooting but when hunting Antelope my average shot has been just under 300 yds & Mule Deer less. Maybe it's the country I hunt. What will I do when I need a new rifle probably just buy a Remington 700 Sendero & go hunting. [/QUOTE]
