RE: How important is barrel length?
ORIGINAL: ShatoDavis Either of the remington's will be fine. Eventually if you like the accuracy game you will need to upgrade to a custom barrel and the Remington is a great platform for a build job. I would say that a 22" barrel would be about perfect for the 308. Get one and shoot the throat out then rebarrel with a Shilen or equivolent. I'd suggest the varmint model simply because I think the stock is better suited for your purposes. |

ORIGINAL: hillbillyhunter1 The fish, BTW, is a dink...................................... Have never known myself to disappoint the ladiesin that regard...... I'm sure tho',you're just trollin' for proof. Heard talk aboutthe mules, down there in WV, gettin' kinda tired when Drivers Ed and Sex Ed is on the same day. Poor mules.................... |

Please remember I am but a simple soul from WV, so you should certainly understand why I would consider your trout impressive. And actually we prefer sheep over mules. The mules are just too DERN tall. Tom.

All are great actions to build off of later on... |

RE: How important is barrel length?
ORIGINAL: Ridge Runner ORIGINAL: OCW not only negates contour worries in a good barrel but diminishes such voodoo as bullet lot # differences, powder lot # differences, case capacity varience issues, weather/temp/humidity related issues, and such....... RR The word I used was "diminishes"....source a dictionary and see it's proven that word does not mean "eliminate". Can only guess, thatyou too...are a west virginian....... And yes...I've proven OCW to myself in every rifle I've R&D'd for, since I was introduced to it. Your Milage Will Certainly Vary I'm Sure....................(YMWCVIS) |
RE: How important is barrel length?
Wilds..... Who do you do firearms and ballistics R&D for??

RE: How important is barrel length?
Amazingly I own/shoot, and my hunting/shooting pards own/shoot, more than one rifle/chambering....
And...Them/Me are/is guilty of seeking the best performance possible. We've narrowed Gear choice down to that which works and tend not to frig around much obtaining Good Results. I tend to dump a goodly portion of earnings into hunting and shooting....and feel no shame doing so. I don't golf, nor drive a bass boat either, and couldn't conjure even a clue about that.......................... |

RE: How important is barrel length?
ORIGINAL: Ridge Runner the way you develope a load has nothing to do with how conditions effect it, doesn't matter which word you use its BS, a few others here also own/shoot several, and some of us many different cartridges. Sure the OCW is the best, thats why the top BR shooters use the same 5 cases all season till they're junk, and use a casefull of powder (thats no weighing or measureing) I've done it every way possible to develope loads, the results are the same with each method, group size will not get better in any given rifle from one method to the other if you do it correctly every way. haven't reloaded 30 years and not learned anything! yes I'm from wv, chose to live here out of all the other states I lived in, you should spend some time here, you'll find out that were not just dumb hillbillies, and also that we don't think much of the keyboard commando smart@$$ attitudes. RR Spent 'nuff time just below WV, livin', and workin' with west virginians "smart" 'nuff to seek a decent wage, to know allabout west virginia. The best thing that EVER came outta that place was I-77 South.............. |
