RE: Rebarreling project
Sounds good. Most pre-chambered barrels have a short chamber so the fitter can ream it closely after fitting it to the action. I suspect the Shilens are made that way. So the project is a little more involved than just screwing the barrel on. Headspace must be set after the barrel is snug on the action.
A 26" barrel would be an improvement for the .25/'06...
