Hi,
Im new to the forum but I have been lurking for a few weeks. I am getting a rifle built on a blueprinted Remington 700 action I have had hidden away for a few years. I am going with a 6.5 284. I will be using it as a combo Deer/ varmint/ target gun with 120-140 grain bullets. My gunsmith suggests Krieger, Obermeyer or Chanlynn barrels or can give me a Douglass XX for $100 less. Which barrel should I choose or should I buy another brand and supply it myself? Also which twist would you recommend?
Thanks
