Hmmm. I wonder who would install Lilja's Montana contour. That's probably what you are trying to figure out...

+1 for Pacnor, and I am pleased with mine. I had them match factory length & contour, with 1 in 9" poly rifling

IT&D did my 243AI rebarrel. Seems to shoot pretty well. SS air gauged Douglas barrel, all in cost less than $450.

Add Whidden Gunworks and Benchmark barrels to the list.

You guys going with the heavier contour or just a factory contour dupe? Maybe someone with the heavier contour can weigh in ... thanks

I rebarreled w/ a slightly heavier contour, picking up an extra 8oz. Feels great to me to carry, the extra 1/2 pound seems to make it easier to shoot accurately. I will do my next one the same way. Would probably be awesome in a factory contour dupe also....

Let me know if you decide a ackley isn't worth the trouble and 223's are for stunt shooters.

If .223's are for stunts, you can call me Lee Majors.

If this were the case, Redneck would be doing them and would have done mine.

smile smile Thanks, Higbean..

Two reasons I don't: (1) it takes a special action wrench for that teeny receiver and, IIRC, Jim actually made his...

(2) I only work with M70s, M700s, MRC1999s and an occasional M77.. and if I started other rifles I'd get behind and not be able to do a reasonably quick turn-around time..

Best wishes...
