Looks really good... Did you cut the barrel yourself or have it done?

Thanks, Dogger.
Feels like I bought a new gun....
Bob @ Upstate Armory Group cut and recrowned the barrel, Trays.
Thanks for the compliment. We'll see how she shoots tomorrow, but it feels and handles better now. Edited by cheaptrick - August/15/2009 at 14:37 |

Wanted something a little lighter and that handled better.

So I could cut about six inches off, and my back wouldn't hurt, and it'd handle better. What do you suppose that would cost me under the Obama plan?
Oh wait we're talking rifle barrels.... wrong thread.

Funny Billy!
Say Mark, What Caliber/Model is BB, Ive always liked the looks of your rifle! From what Ive read about cutting down 308 barrels it will not affect your accuracy, maybe even improve it. But I am curious about Velocity loss? Please let us know...A few months ago Wes showed me the 308 Rem he hasRemington Model 700 Stainless Special 5R Milspec, he sent me this article-http://www.sniperschool.com/sniper-rifle-barrel-length/
I think the cut down barrel looks cool, it should be a good shooter.

Julio, Black Betty was already a total shooter! Mark will be crying the blues if she isn't anymore. I try not to fix something thats not broke! We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed.

Thank You Mark, Do you ever use it for hunting or is it strictly target?

Never shoot further than 300 yards or so.
One of my reasons for chopping it was to make it a little more versatile, like for hunting. Probably top her off with the new SS Variable.
I've always liked the short, fat barrels on the Remingtons, like the SPS Tactical, but they don't makie the leftie.....
