[QUOTE="GonzoK34, post: 2006378, member: 8915"] I have had my Rem700 300wm since 1968 which I bought after returning from Vietnam. It started at 26”. Shot it hunting and in shooting matches. After several hundred rounds the groups opened up. I had the receiver trued and tuned, barrel set back rechambering to spec. Recrowned the muzzle. Barrel 25”. Groups went from 1.5” - 1/2”. Factory blue finish. 10 years ago I had a new factory Sendero barrel 26” cut to 25”, barrel centered perpendicular to the bore. Chamber cut to 215gr bullet. Muzzle crown 11degree and recessed 1/8th. Rifle shoots 3/8” at 100. Best at 1000 under 6” if I do everything right. Rebarrel will cost: Premium Barrel $500, install $350-500. Receicer tune/true $500. If you hunt mountain states for big game 24” works just find. I backpacker cover allot of ground. My rifle is heavy. My gear is heavy, My optics are heavy, My Primos tripod gets allot of use. I am 74 and just finished 10 days hiking 10 miles average every single day hunting for a buck deer. Saw over 100 does, 3 spikes. It’s hunting. We didn’t score. But Jameson/Beer made up for the downs. Lots of Ups. Do whatever makes you happy. I’ve dated allot of ugly ladies and married a beautiful one for 50+years. Go for it! SEMPER FEDELIS [/QUOTE]
