I am thinking of re-barreling one. I know scenarshooter's GAP non-typicals have rock #3's on 'em. I'm just thinking I could know the weight if it was close to the factory contour and decide if I want it a smidge lighter. The factory 24" barrelled actions seem just a tad heavy, for say and edge stock and what not.
I know the Howa won't be a lightweight, but a well balanced gun is what I am after. Have to see...
