I have a M700 with a crooked throat in .270, thinking about making a .240 WM out of it. I'll probably ask for a 1 in 8" barrel, however. Have to contemplate who to do the work.
I've had very short turnaround time with Shilen barrels. My idea is to pick the smith and find out what barrel maker he prefers. His reputation is on the line as well as the barrel maker. And some makers back their products better than others. No one is more in tune with what's going on in that industry than the smith.
