Thread: new barrel

well several years ago I bought back my old 788 Remington - had been my go to rifle in seventies and damn accurate - but like an idiot bought a Weatherby 270 and sold 788 to farming friend up north - was offered it back cheap 2 years ago - grabbed it - got it home to find that in the 25 years he had it not cleaned and worse pitted - not just pitted one about an inch inside barrel is a bloody crater - so new barrel- its a 788 Remington 18 1/2 in factory barrel in 308 threaded - I will stick with length and profile - whats out there you gunsmithy types - the only one I have heard bad things about is Hardy so no - not keen on second hand - why was it removed - what else fits ?? new what does it ?? - will be keeping it as my main rifle now - price ??
the Weatherby was accurate but that stock just got sick of the noise bush hunting - scratchy noisy - traded it on a Tikka 690 and again should not have sold that lol we are gluttons for punishment
