Douglas blanks cost 250 plus so paying 25 for installation seems pretty cheap. Like free labor cheap.

Stick with your plan, 7x57 only .010" less body taper than '06...it will feed flawlessly. Bingo........

There's a reason why they cost $250...  It's also the reason I refuse to install one.. Just me.. YMMV...

I have only fit one Douglas a Savage 99 in 219 Zipper Imp. It shot in the .300 range fireforming never did hear what it did with formed ammo. I have another Douglas coming for a Montana action so we will see. Fit a bunch of Schilen barrel and had good luck with them. Several other manufacturers,
Redneck what barrel do you prefer?

I have built both 280's and 7x57's on pre-64's and like either one. My choice though, would be a 7x57. A truly great cartridge. I would choose whatever barrel I liked. I like Douglas contours but am not too particular regarding make. I can alter contours. GD

Red eck put a pac nor barrel on a Winchester for me once. Excellent barrel. Like I said, if I call up dpcd on AR and send him 275 bucks I get a Douglas barrel contoured the way I want 8nstalled on my rifle a d they shoot better than I can.
The way life should be.
