Not bad for a 2 contour at 24". What does Melvin charge for a stock?? Why didn't you have him bed it for you?
I've had an interest in Benchmark barrels recently. Can't wait to see how this one shoots. Also had recent interest in 6.5-06, but decided to go 264 Win Mag. With a 6.5-06 in a lightweight platform....I'd go 23". I'll have to go 24" on the 264 WM.
And that sucks on the screw. My suggestion would be to seek professional help with that and not try to drill it out yourself. Been there.....done that.
