[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1018669, member: 12995"] Don't be nervous with the 5R barrels. They are 9.9/10 phenomenal shooters. My 24" 5R .308 Win is a 1 ragged hole gun if I do my part with handloads. And the only thing I've ever done to it was re-torque the action screws to 65 inch-pounds, and replaced the trigger with an old style factory Remington trigger and tuned it. You could always buy a gun vise and an action wrench, and have the smith pin the recoil lug on the 5R, and have him setup a .260 Rem barrel. Then you could have your own switch-barrel rifle, and be able to swap barrels on your own at home, and you can decide whether or not to shoot .308 or .260 that day. You get twice the function and life out of the same basic rifle. And you won't be wasting the nice 5R .308 barrel. [/QUOTE]
