I have a "heavy varmint" rifle that is "shot out". This was the first center fire rifle I ever owned. The rifle has a Win. M70 action, rifle was originally "smithed by W.T. Atkinson", the rifle wears a Fajen bench rest stock (walnut, oversize roll-over cheek-piece, etc., I know "antique"). Anyway, I am considering trying either a 6mm B.R.(1-14 twist) or a .260 Rem.(1-8 twist). Obviously, looking at two diff. applications here, but my main questions are: who would you guys reccomend to do the chambering/threading work, someone who does "good" work, and has "reasonable" lead times, and, who makes the best barrels in the calibers mentioned? I have friends who reccomend Darrell Holland and Gordy Gritters (from Iowa), I know they do awesome work, but they are so booked-up, they are behind a year or better! ( says something about their abilities!!!) Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas, criticism's? P.S., the rifle was originally a .220 Swift, rebarreled to .243, was an exceptional shooter, 16 yr. old kid (me) got a little carried away on his first PD hunt. (barrel can't be hot, it isn't "cherry red" yet!!!!) Thanks, this is the best forum on the "net"!!! Russ
