During the summer I picked up a 700 short action that was already worked over by my gunsmith. It had a heavy bull barrel in 260 on it. Yesterday, I had stopped in to say hello and got to talking and by the time I left, he was going to order a barrel for it today. Going with a Shilen #3 with 1/8...

We just got back from Western Co. Overall it was a good trip. We had hunted the same property 2 years ago. We have 2 groups and rotate each year so we retain the property. The weather was hot the first 2 days then the winds came in for 3 days and we had over 40 mph on top of the mountain the 3rd...
